Linda Le Kinff
Peaceful
Circa: 1985

About the Item

An original signed watercolor painted over screenprint by French artist Linda Le Kinff (1949-) titled Peaceful", c. 1985. Hand pencil signed by Le Kinff lower right. Beautifully framed with moulding matting and filet. Framed size: 32.25" x 29.25". Image size: 19.5" x 16". Mint condition. Linda Le Kinff was born in Paris in 1949 from French and Brazilian parents. She started her career as a painter at the age of 20. In the 1970s she traveled to India, Tibet, Mexico and Italy. She lived and worked in Italy for 12 years learning the ancient techniques of tempera, egg painting and the gold leaf method taught by masters in Florence and Livorno. She also served an apprenticeship in wood engraving, copper engraving, and excelled in learning the modern techniques of acrylic and airbrush painting. In Paris, in 1975, Le Kinff learned lithography, meeting the artists Brayer, Corneille and Lapique. In 1976, she met Okamoto Taro, the “Japanese Picasso,” who introduced her to the sand and sumi technique. In 1981, she spent six months in Morocco where she worked with Chabia, the poetess of the naive abstraction movement. Le Kinff returned to school in south Tyrol where she became interested in painted, polished and varnished woodwork, using a special material made of casein. She applied it to her paintings and continues to use this technique today but still keeps the traditional approach of painting in acrylic on canvas, as well. She began to create serigraphs in the mid 1980s and excels in the technique. When it comes to choosing her favorite techniques, Linda struggles. She explained that each technique and medium depends greatly on her subject matter and she pulls from all her experiences to project the essence of what she’s painting. When she lived in Italy, however, Linda found a rare passion in painting on wood paneling and it became one of her favorite media. Italy is the place where she truly found herself as a painter and her memories from that time are especially fond. Le Kinff also expresses herself through watercolors or, more precisely, a mixing of greasy pastels, ink and watercolor. Recently, she began to use collage. She works without a model and her inspiration comes from travel, her dreams, reading, and her imagination. Most recently, her color palette has been inspired by Japan and the Scandinavian countries. Each place has its own unique set of colors and Linda tries to carry this throughout her work. Her subjects are extremely diverse and include musical scenes, poetic interpretations of people caught in an intimate moment of their lives, and couples elegantly dressed, out for a night on the town. She has fallen deeply in love with attending the circus, especially Cirque du Soleil, inspired by the amazing flexibility and movement of the performers. She also often includes an image of a black cat in her works, sitting near the edge of the composition. When asked, the artist expressed that the cat is there for graphic purposes, balancing the colors and composition of her work. It pulls together the black hair of the women in her paintings and provides a point of reference for the other shapes. Le Kinff’s studio is her haven. With memories of places she’s traveled posted on the walls, she is able to focus and find her creativity. Rising early in the morning, Linda will work until 6 p.m. in solitude, enjoying her quiet moments to think. Her influences include the hidden sensuality of Braque, the masterful drawing of Matisse, the elegance of Modigliani and the precocious maturity of Egon Schiele. She also finds inspiration in the work of Gauguin, Picasso, and Gustav Klimt. In 1998, Le Kinff was selected as the Official World Cup Artist and exhibited in the cities where the matches took place: Montpellier, Saint-Denis, Nantes, Marseille, Toulouse, and Lyon. For that distinction she created a painting that was minted into a commemorative coin by the French Government, an honor never before offered to a living French artist. The medallion was exhibited at the prestigious museum, the Monnaie de Paris, where French Nemaic has been minted since the 15th century, and the Euro since 1999. In 2002, Le Kinff participated in the “Exposition of Prestige,” organized by the Ambassador of France in Japan, and her work was exhibited in museums and art foundations in Japanese cities, including: Tokyo-Bunkamura Museum, Nagoya-Tenjin Salaria Art Foundation, Osaka-Kirin Foundation, Fukuoka-Loft Gallery, and Yokohama-RedBrick-Warehouse. In 2008, a catalog raisonné of Le Kinff’s graphic works was published by Park West Gallery with an introduction by art historian, essayist, art critic and curator for several museums, Joseph Jacobs. Most recently, Le Kinff was honored to be the official artist of the 2010 Kentucky Derby, featuring her work on posters, prints, tickets, racing programs and officially licensed products for the 136th Kentucky Oaks and Derby. She challenged herself by painting horses for the first time, a brand new subject featuring the Winners’ Circle and the guests of the Derby.
