Spy Rock Graphics features original artwork by Linda S. Grom. Linda creates paintings in acrylic on canvas. She makes some of the original paintings as well as fine quality prints available for sale online, and in her gallery in Saint Paul, Arkansas. On this website you can find her recommendations on books, tools, techniques, and materials.
Take a look at the galleries here to see Linda’s recent paintings. They are inspired by her experience as an interior designer and her love of simple and elegant geometric shapes. These paintings blend hard edge design with organic visual elements in a stunning display of bold and subtle color. Linda works in the tradition of geometric abstraction and also impressionism.
Her geometric abstract work is reminiscent of artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, and Kazimir Malevich. Many of her geometric paintings are inspired by American heritage quilt patterns. In 2014, a New York Times article noted, “Some critics have suggested that the quilts are interesting to contemporary art followers because their geometric patterns recall modernist abstract painting.”
Linda’s palette and brushwork follow the tradition of impressionist artists such as Claude Monet, and post impressionist Gustave Loiseau. Her representational paintings reflect the natural setting surrounding her home in the countryside of the Boston Mountains in Arkansas.
To enjoy these works to the fullest, you must allow yourself to look not just at the painting but also into it, much in the way you look into a mirror not at it. There you will find hidden worlds of subtle color and pattern reminiscent of the natural environment. You might enjoy reading this to see what others have to say about how to enjoy looking at a painting.
