Linda Touby is a living
contradiction: a small, intellectual woman who paints
enormous, passionate, robust paintings. Even Touby’s
eight-inch-square paintings radiate energy. Her powerful,
emotional brushstrokes seem about to burst at the edges
of canvases rich with thick impasto. A pure abstract
expressionist, Touby studied with one of the members
of the fabled New York School, Richard Pousette-Dart,
another artist whose work was first exhibited in Florida
at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries.

Technically impeccable,
Linda Touby manages a feat that many artists attempt but
few achieve: to make their works on paper as successful
and exciting as those on canvas. Many of Touby’s
oils on paper gleam with a delicious impasto that cries
out to the viewer, “This is a painting!”

Linda Touby’s works on
paper offer her the opportunity to capture fleeting
moments of inspiration as well as those of quiet introspection.
Ranging around three by two feet, her mid-sized and
larger oils on paper present the satisfying richness
and depth of their canvas cousins.

In 1990 Touby became one
of the first American painters to be exhibited at a
Russian museum. Since then, she has held major exhibitions
in Switzerland, Spain and Germany to enormous acclaim.
Her work is in the permanent collections of The Women's
Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Danforth Museum
in Massachusetts. A master colorist, Touby’s
works create a visual jazz, with their exuberant rhythms,
counterpoints and subtle harmonies.
