Je T’aime

ON JE T’AIME

MJFA is delighted to debuts Linda Touby’s latest series of paintings, entitled Je T’aime, “I LoveYou” in French. Never before exhibited, these deeply evocative works mark an abrupt shift inTouby’s artistic expression, whose visual vocabulary, primarily grounded in tenets of 20th

century abstraction, has evolved subtly and continually over a 30+ year career. Previously,Touby’s paintings have been inspired by giants of art history, from Giotto to Picasso, and morerecently, the sculptor, and writer Sidney Geist, a personal friend. Je T’aime has erupted from asource much closer to home, and expresses pure emotion, not intellectual interpretation.

The drama and intensity of Je T’aime’s works flow from Touby’s intense love for long timehusband and partner, Basil Gogos, who passed away last year. Gogos (the legendary“monster” artist whose fans and collectors include Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, and otherHollywood luminaries) was Touby’s life partner, both in love and art. For Touby, her deepestfeelings, expressed on canvas, are a celebration of love and an outlet for personal grief.These works deviate from previous series of neatly aligned, uniform color fields. Instead,allowing her raw emotions to shape the work, she incorporates paint drips, splatters, andgestural marks on transparent fields of color that bleed into each other, often overlaying onecontrasting color over another.

Intuitively applying textural, cumulative layers of brushstrokes on a flat field of color, thesecompositions stylistically resonate closely to Abstract Expressionism. The floating zones ofluminous pigments range from soft pastel hues of blues and pinks to dense colors of crimsonreds and Egyptian blues - colors often associated with love. The swaths of color reach out tothe very edge of the canvas often encountering vertical and horizontal striped bands thatborder many of her paintings, suggesting either that she is not going to let her impassionedstates run too far away or that her emotions cannot be bound by any border.

The impetus for this evocative series aligns with Touby’s practice. Her canvases impart adistinct sense of movement and her handling of color seems to develop from thesubconscious, enveloping the viewer in an emotional roller coaster in the name of love.

A native of Florida, Linda Touby moved to New York as a teenager and earned her BAPratt Institute in Brooklyn. She thereafter attended The Art Student's League studying underthe tutelage of renowned painter Richard Pousette-Dart. Touby has been exhibiting herpaintings for the past 30 years and has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitionsat museums and galleries, both nationally and internationally including the MuseumFur Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt (1999), Germany, and the US Embassies inKuwait, Belgrade, Bujumbura Burundi, and Paris. Her paintings have been incorporated inmany private and public collections, including General Motors Corporation, PhillipsCorporation, Bertholon - Roland Corporation, and the United States StateDepartment in Washington, DC.
