Lindi Kirwin is our Artist of the Week this time. Lindi is a professional Artist, exhibiting in many galleries and selling her work to private collectors, worldwide.
Based at her studio on the 3rd floor at Vernon Mill in Stockport, Lindi’s contemporary paintings are inspired by many of the Old Masters, and of today’s artists, Jenny Saville; yet in contrast to her morbid reflection of the human form, she admires the romantic beauty of Pino Daeni’s style. Egon Schiele is also a firm favourite for inspiration.
Lindi’s passion of figurative work is tastefully provocative and sensual. The image shown is called "Alone in the Dark"; her land/seascapes are vibrant and atmospheric; all these paintings are executed in her specialism of dry-brush acrylic, using no water. However, it is evident that she is also recognised for her work in oils and mixed media, and her humorous pen illustrations. She uses her photos and sketches for reference and is also inspired by proverbs, quotes, poetry text, which she will successfully interpret into abstract paintings.
In 2006, she was approached by Dorling Kindersley publishers to use examples of her work in their art books. She has also recently had a very successful partnership with Durer's, producing a highly unusual and individual piece, auctioned for charity and bought by Theo Paphitas - of Dragon's Den fame.
