Linda Quinlan

Linda Quinlan is an artist born in Cork and currently based in Dublin. Her practice weaves a kind of visual alchemy, choreographing a playful set of relations between image, objects, video and sound. In her work she engages in practices that mean to establish a relation with the mineral, vegetal and animal world. Her recent work is grounded in the activity of painting, developing imagery that aims to capture both an ecological and civic spirit and question ideas of love, survival, nature and the feminine.
