Beginning
as a watercolorist and landscape painter, Linda Kunik decided she wanted
to work more conceptually, so she returned to school to receive her BFA
from Otis College of Art and Design. Thinking about issues of global
awareness, Linda’s first body of abstract paintings dealt with the
environment; more specifically the deforestation of rain forests. It
was within this body of work that she began to push the boundaries of
preconceived notions of painting while attempting to reconcile
abstraction with social and political issues. Her “Deforestation and
the Land” series developed into paintings of global warming and
imbalances within ocean plant life. As her work progressed, Linda
started to see a broader picture of causality. She questioned: how
and why do things happen - in the environment, society, governments, and
everything we do? Her “Things Fall Apart” series has thus far
reflected these conceptual issues, and she is now beginning to expand
her ideas into a new body of work including paintings, photographs and
installations. Linda was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Beverly
Hills, California in 1978 where she currently resides.
