Findings @ "A" Gallery
There can be a challenge in finding an accessible entry point to some visual art works for a layperson, but in the new work by Linnie Brown on display in the solo exhibition
Findings at "A" Gallery (1321 S. 2100 East, agalleryonline.com), representation and abstraction find a fascinating architectural conjunction. These acrylic-on-panel pieces often feature bold swaths of color and hard lines that feel peculiar and alienating, until you take a closer look. In "Here and There" (pictured), there's a multi-dimensional perspective that makes it seem as though you're peering through windows on an atrium roof; the geometric forms in "Inventory of Linked Places" begin to resemble a row of apartment buildings, with the windows jutting off at strange angles.
