..Artist infuses paintings with personality
Newspaper 10:00 PM PDT on Wednesday, August 15, 2007

There will always be artists whose work defies strict categories or definitions. Such is the case with painter David Lindamood, whose artwork combines elements of early cubism with expressionist tendencies and modern illustration.

Artistic intuition is a strong force in Lindamood's work. His sweeping brushstrokes and lines generate a feeling of intense energy and life. "To me it is important for each painting to have a personality," says Lindamood. "I think a lot about painting, composition and color, but when it comes down to it, I mostly paint by instinct and what feels right as I go."

Throughout his education Lindamood was involved in many aspects of printing and illustration, including a few comic strips. He traces his interest back to the time he had an illustration printed in the kindergarten newspaper. After graduating from college, Lindamood began to merge his illustration and cartoon background with the field of fine art. Beyond painting and printing, Lindamood is active in directing and acting in Shakespearean theater as well as writing prose, poetry and music.

Showing: Lindamood will be showing his work in the group exhibition which runs through Sept. 8...The opening reception is Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. Additionally, Lindamood will be one of 10 artists involved in a cultural-exchange exhibition in Sendai, Japan, this fall that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the sister-city relations...

  Artist Statement                                                                          

" I create optical narratives, self-regulated scenes which express events or an awareness within a person's life. In these works I require inner-play of color, shapes and lines to be presented in a way that the entire painting becomes one movement of balanced expression. 

Each element must offer a part of itself to the purpose of this moment: this is us in life as I know it."
