“Full of paradox and surprises, the new paintings depict spaces as delicate and shallow as a heap of ribbons on a table, gently lifted by a breeze and as deep and intimidating as an ocean lying beneath the surface of waves. Line on a Walk emphatically declares Schrank’s new approach. A sinuous, vein of white grace-fully curls and wrestles through a thicket of broader bands of yellow and orange. … The new painting's title refers to Klee and the work clearly pays homage to the Swiss artist's playful animation and burnished colors. The black dots, though, imply something else: a zooming-in among the interstices of Schrank's strokes. We are closer, deeper, more intimately inside Schrank’s pictorial space than ever before.” ...Said art critic Rex Weil. Linda Schrank has been exhibiting her work consistently here and in Europe since 1978, most recently at this gallery, as well as The International Museum for Women in Art, Abruzzo, Italy; Pratt Institute, NYC; Kidder Smith Gallery, Boston; the Inter-national Print Center, NYC; and Museo del Vino in Torgiano, Italy. Her work can be found in notable public and private collections including The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The New York Public Library; Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, MA; The Harvard Club; Chase Manhattan Bank, NYC; Pfizer, Inc., NYC and UNICEF, among others.
