Allan Linder
 | Biography: Allan Linder (1966, California, United States) makes paintings, drawings,
digital work, mixed media artworks, sculptures, and much more. With a
conceptual approach, Linder absorbs the tradition of making art into daily
practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past tradition are
important as an act of meditation.
His collected, altered, and own paintings are being confronted as
aesthetically resilient, thematically interrelated material for memory and
projection. The possibility seems true and the truth exists, but it has
many faces, as Hanna Arendt cites from Franz Kafka. By contesting the
division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, he tries
to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to
involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical, and believes in the
idea of function following form in a work.
His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday
experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed
instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By applying
abstraction, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created using
rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and
round in circles.
His works don't always reference recognizable forms. The results are
deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible
interpretation becomes multifaceted. Allan Linder currently lives and works
in New York City. Country: United States Birthyear: 1966 Galleries: 2022 - Group Exhibit, "FORM" CICA Museum, Seoul, South Korea
