Linda Berger first studied design and fashion at the University of Pforzheim and later at the University of Applied Arts under Sigbert Schenk and Jan Svenungsson.
Starting from the smallest graphic gesture - a simple stroke of the pen - the artist creates impressive worlds. In meticulous repetition, none of these strokes ever remains alone. Like a colourful accumulation of individuals, they vary in strength and direction, overlap and combine to form clusters, formative centres. Linda Berger thus sensitively rhythmises and composes the free surfaces into wide spaces. Only from a distance are we able to comprehend the artist's brilliant worlds in terms of composition. Turbulence, transformations, traces and scars, the passing and movement of time are captured and brought to the canvas.
Her ‘landscapes’ become landscapes of the soul, evoking moods and emotions in the viewer depending on the time of day, season and incidence of light. Her drawings create space for interpretation by appearing like enlarged or reduced views of various aspects of our environment that surround us every day and shape our lives. The works are created intuitively and grow as she works. A long, ongoing process that suggests effortlessness and lightness on the canvas. The structure serves as a concept to set the frozen drawing in motion, thus Berger's drawings are an image of an interplay between rigidity and movement, rule and chance.
