Linda Levit
GEOMETRY AND SPIRITUALITY

Ms. Levit has exhibited her work in galleries in Denmark, Spain and was included in a traveling exhibition of abstract art touring museums in Germany. In New York in 1995, she exhibited her work in a two-person show with Cynthia Gallagher at the Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law and had a one-person show at A.I.R. in 1998. She will be exhibiting her recent paintings in the Fall of 2002 at Galleri Weinberger in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Ms. Levit's paintings are rooted in geometry with a humanistic touch evoked by lush surfaces and sensual color. The edges of her shapes are soft and uneven rather than cool and hard. The repetition of shapes is used to create a feeling akin to the rhythm in music. This patterning refers to the history of patterning in art from Matisse and Picasso to African sculptures and textiles. Geometry and the grid, both powerful elements in modernist painting, have given Ms. Levit the freedom to explore the spiritual and sensual nature of abstraction.

Ms. Levit was the recipient of a grant from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation. She was also the guest editor of an issue on abstraction for the magazine, New Observations. Her work is included in the collections of Best & Company, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Reading Museum, Oppenheimer & Company and Readers Digest.




Ms. Levit's work will be shown in Sweden during January, 2003. For more information visit the gallery's website:
