Linda Bigness is an internationally exhibited artist who maintains a gallery/studio in Syracuse, New York. Her work has been exhibited in several prestigious solo and group shows that have involved notable jurors such as art critic Clement Greenberg, Ivan Karp, director of OK Harris Gallery in NYC, and Tom Piche, director of the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art. In addition, Bigness’ large scale paintings are often selected and commissioned for corporate and residential clients, including the Turning Stone Resort, Merrill Lynch Corporation, Haylor, Freyer and Coon, and Bausch and Lomb. She continues to exhibit professionally at several venues with artwork featured frequently at the Nan Miller Gallery in Rochester, NY. Presently she is working on her latest book and exhibition about abstract art and the contemporary processes used by working artists today. Part of the research for this book is taken from the workshops she teaches and her oil painting and mixed media collage experience. For over 30 years Bigness has used her expertise to share with others the unique beauty and processes of her chosen medium through writing, teaching and professional exhibits. Her first book “Paint It, Tear It, Create It” offered the reader insight into visual abstract thinking through the process of collage into painting. She continues to explore the abstract through surface manipulation using encaustics and oil and is currently working on a new series, the “Journey Stones Revisited,” a reflection upon her extensive travels throughout the United States and Europe.

"Spring in Central Park" #arttravel #contemporaryart #rochesterartcollectors #encaustic #monoprints #hotbox #color #blue #oil #artalongtheway #curatorspick #story After spending some time in NYC last Spring, I did a series of monoprints using wax, oil and pigment sticks on a hot box. After doing several I created a series of encaustic collages mounted on cradled birch panel. This is one I especially liked and sold soon after it left my studio at the Nan Miller Gallery. #18X24 #sold #collector

And next! #arttravel #encaustic #process

A fantastic memory from an Encaustic Retreat in Maine. Why I love process. #arttravel #encaustic #retreat #process

Studio visit! Come on in for a virtual tour. Art and music still happening! Stay well everyone. #coronavirus #visualart #color #studio245 #encaustic #silverleaf #goldleaf #series #nature #process #painting #visualart #color #studiovisit #contemporaryart #rochesterartcollect #fingerlakes #fineartcollector #beautifuldestinations #oil #artalongtheway #commissions #artgoeson #livingwithart #studiolight #creative #environment #moretocome #artshare #socialdistancing #artheals

This is "Blue Water II" #encaustic #oil #silverleaf 24 X24". It is part of the exhibit at the #sprinklerartgallery in Worcester,Ma that is currently closed to the public due to the Pandemic. I'm sharing this particular piece with you as a representation of my continuing concern for our environment. My work over the years has focused on #urban and #environmental conditions. Even though it is mostly abstract the message lies layered within the superficial beauty of the surface. A cover up one might say. More about my philosophy in and about painting in my future artist's book. "Abstract Stories". More to come...

A short walk through the opening reception of "Dual Nature" #contemporaryart #oil #arttravel #exhibition #sprinklerartgallery #encaustic #artists #opening #collectors #color #gallery #curatorspick

Paintings from "Dual Nature" #contemporaryart #oil #arttravel #exhibition #sprinklerartgallery #encaustic #artists #opening #collectors #color #gallery #curatorspick

I lost myself in these paintings. A painter's gift is the ethereal escape of the the physical presence. The work takes me on an inexplicable journey and then you must frame it. These works are currently on exhibit at the Sprinkler Arts Center in Worcester,Ma. However, the Covid 19 has interfered with the exhibit being open. I'm sorry for this. So we the artists of the show "Dual Nature" are posting our's and each other's work to achieve a virtual visit. This is my studio and where they were hanging out waiting to travel to New England. Art will always be there but we may not if we allow this ominous virus to take over. So virtual it is for now. Enjoy. #encaustic #oil #contemporaryart #arttravel #exhibition #sprinklerartgallery #color #nature #process #painting #visualart #artalongtheway #curatorspick #oneofakind #gallery
