New Forms of Being
01. The New Forms of Being collection features original works from Linko's personal archives spanning the years 2018-2021. The drawings have emerged from a desire to let go, to be silent for a moment, to strip away all unnecessary elements, to discover something new, and to boldly venture on the border between good and bad taste. Some of the drawings have originated from memory traces—warm ones and those that the artist has deemed important to capture.

Battle
01. The series – “Lately, I've been drawing female wrestlers. I am fascinated by the shapes of their bodies, simultaneously both feminine and masculine extremes. The various manifestations of strength, juxtaposed with sensitivity, have always intrigued me.
Battle is a kind of victory cheer, a resignation from the constantly imposed image of women. The vibrant and boldly executed pieces mock the assumed female rivalry, leaving room for interpretation of the figures as supporting each other—a united force and opportunity. Cheerfulness is the best weapon.”
