Flicker

01.   Flicker – series of paintings and ceramics as part of Paimio Sanatory’s Summer Exhibition 2025

02.   The exhibition brings together a series of paintings by Linda Linko that reflect sensitivity, the passage of time, transience, and a sense of incompleteness. Created over several years, the works are connected by a shared sense of landscape and composition. Classical themes are approached with a free and distinctive visual language.

Beneath the soft lines lingers a bittersweet feeling. The need to stay still while something burns inside. Movement when all one longs for is stillness. These are often the moments that leave the strongest trace.

Serifs and Jellybeans

01.    Linda Linko is a Helsinki-based visual artist who works in a variety of mediums, focusing in particular on drawing and painting. The visual thinking of Linko, who graduated from the University of Art and Design in 2004, is shaped by her background in design. Her works are influenced by both contemporary painting and 1960s Polish poster design. Her work is characterised by a recognisable visual style and an interest in the chosen materials and the possibilities they offer.

“I am fascinated by the dynamics of seeing, observing and understanding. Through art, it is easier to explore inexplicable structures and semiotic associations - deformities, which have always interested me.”
