Linda Vinck - Basic Rhythms of Being, a Life in Patterns

Product Details

Linda Vinck is a visual artist with a long-standing and sustainably developed body of work centered around rhythm and pattern formation. She has a deep affinity with dance and contemporary composers. Additionally, her work is in no small part ‘coloured’ (but not determined) by a year-long stay on the Cape Verde Islands, and she is fascinated by the interplay of predictable and unpredictable micro-forms in nature.

Linda Vinck has been developing for almost five decades a consistent body of work around rhythm and pattern formation. This comprehensive publication contextualises and presents the artist's oeuvre, leading to introducing and discovering her prolific language as a visual artist about her unique artistic identity.

The materiality of her artworks, strengthened by the mixed media techniques the artist uses, demonstrates her fascination with the interplay of predictable and unpredictable micro-forms in nature, psychocorporeal transformations, dance, and contemporary composers. The impact and integration of colour and spirituality in her practice refer to her yearlong residencies in Cape Verde, South Africa, and Japan.

Linda Vinck (°1942 , lives and works in Mortsel ) is a painter who puts the concept of rhythm and repetition at the centre of her work. Characters or symbols she constantly repeats according to rhythmic patterns, until they finally converge into one whole. She deploys lines, shapes and colours in this way, making her canvases seem to grow organically. The organisation of chaos and the structure in disorder, are the keys in her work, both in her graphics and paintings.
