Linda Marrinon

Outdoors woman dressed in pelts, 2007

Linda Marrinon has worked across painting, watercolour, and sculpture since the 1980s. She combines her long-term interests in feminism and art history with a playful – and sometimes wicked – sense of humour to recreate traditional art genre formats like landscape painting and neo-classical figurative sculpture. Caricature has long been a trademark of her practice, and though her works often retain faithful aspects of their originals, they are simplified or exaggerated in a way that deflates any sense of awe implicit to the original.
