Linda Mitchell
Linda Mitchell, a native Atlantan, has been exhibiting her paintings
and sculptures locally and nationally for over 15 years. Solo
exhibits include Macon & Co., Callanwolde Fine Arts Center,
Georgia State University, Artforms, Berry College, The Birmingham
Art Association and The Metropolitan Arts Council in Birmingham.
She has also exibited at The Contemporary, Del Mar College in
Corpus Christi, Portsmouth Museums in Abingdon, VA, and Matrix
Gallery in Sacramento. Her awards include two Individual Artist
Grants from the City of Atlanta Bureau of Cultural Affairs,
an Individual Artist Grant from the Georgia Council for the
Arts and the Grand Prize award for the Georgia Artists '89 Exhibiton
of the Dekalb Council for the Arts. Reviews have been published
in Art Papers, The Atlanta Journal, Creative Loafing and The
Brimingham News. Her work is found in numerous private and corporate
collections.
Mitchell has developed a personal language of animals, strange
figures and ordinary objects which she utilizes in visually
and emotionally packed narratives. Though autobiographical in
origin, the final pieces address compelling universal issues.
The current series combines painting with digital photography.
The child-like innocence and vulnerability of play-doh figures,
toys and doll's clothing tell complex stories of this temporary
life. Personal images: a man's coat, a lost bird, a feather.
These quiet symbols often lie under a scarred surface, the intricate
cracks and tears that time inevitably leaves on each physical
object and soul.
