Fabrik Projects presents Linda Stelling’s first exhibition at the gallery titled “Noble Dreams/Wicked Pleasures.” The exhibition is a collection of recent large-scale abstract paintings that continue Linda’s courtship with the world of dreams and their unconscious messages.
In her own words: “It is the dream’s residual effect that stays with me throughout the day and pushes me, somehow, along the path of my own creativity”. Dreams are universal, in that we all dream. They can be seen as both a source of inspirational magic while at the same time disturbing. According to Linda; “My work is intended to inspire the viewer to recognize the significance of their own dreams; as well, my paintings might simply create a symbolic key to unlock an unconscious door. The intention is that these colorful visual images will invoke a visceral reaction, one that stirs a memory or just a feeling of beauty.” Aesthetically, Linda’s paintings are simultaneously fluid and dynamic. The nuances of color caused by the deliberate pours of paint, entices viewers to engage individual moments within each piece, while the sheer scale of the work allows viewers to enter and inhabit the visual field.
Stelling received her BFA in painting and ceramic sculpture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She has taught art to children and adults and produced murals for private and commercial clients. She has exhibited in both the United States and Europe. She lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
The story of creation is the story of color. The story of color is the story of emotion. Before there were words, there was color. Colors so powerful that they caused a vocal reaction-Raw, throaty vowels, salacious sibilants, Resonant consonants, aerated breath. Color gave birth to sound. When music can no longer be contained, it breaks into movement and dance.
Linda Stelling’s Alchemy series paintings dance across the canvas. Like it or not, we are bathed in intense and joyous bursts of primal chromatic explosions. Her colors pour onto the canvas and off the canvas, bouncing around the room like beams of light.
Her liquid layers are studies in juxtaposition as much as in gradation of tone. Just like in life, just like in love, things that should not make sense, do. Colors that should not fit together, unfold in perfect harmony. They defy psychological narrative. They simply are filled with the one thing that theory cannot provide – the very vibrancy of life.

Linda Stelling is a Los Angeles artist who fills her canvases with the poetry of color. The images she conjures up are point and counterpoint to the verse that she writes. Stelling is a visceral artist who also contemplates her inner life on canvas. Phosphorescent, phantasmagorical color pours out of her mind’s eye and saturates each of Stelling’s artworks.
The painter abstracts figurative images infused with her own bright, incendiary palette. Her curvy, undulating depictions of feathers, flowers, land and seascapes organically tumble together as she reconfigures their shapes. Stelling feels that, “my paintings are meant to instill a psychic vibration. The blending of colors and abstract forms are meant to parallel the dynamics of internal desire, redirecting the viewer from expression to actuality.” Don’t miss this exciting art event.
Los Angeles Yacht Club ® presents Art Waves, a fine art exhibition. The show will benefit the community sailing program where families, children and individuals learn how to sail. The loosely oceanic themed show features paintings, conceptual, sculptural works & photography. Open to the public this is a free event.
My artistic mission is twofold; on the one hand I want my internal images to find expression in the world while allowing the audience an opportunity to crystalize their own vagaries into enlightened expressions. My landscape paintings (perceptions) and the abstract expressionistic works are actually properties of the spirit not any real place, my spirit which I believe is not unique to me but also the province of all humans just disguised through their own cultural and societal experiences. The connecting mechanism that bridges different worlds, for me, is the painted canvas. It transcends the spoken work through images, colors, and shapes. My art is strongly influenced by my desire to unite people with a common bond, a bond of beauty and connection to their own inner landscapes.
Bio
Linda Stelling is an American artist living in Los Angeles whose work revolves around the curvilinear form. Recently, she has returned to her abstract roots and creates large colorful paintings that are meant to instill a psychic vibration. The blending of colors and abstract forms are meant to parallel the dynamics of internal desire; redirecting the viewer from expression to actuality.
Linda’s work can be seen as both explosive and magnetic; pulling the viewer into their own perceptions. Simply, it is art to invigorate.
Linda received her BFA in painting and ceramic sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She has taught art at all levels from children to adult. Her work is recognized in both Europe and the US.

Phosphorescent, phantasmagorical color pours out of her mind’s eye and saturates each of Stelling’s artworks. Her highly chromatic abstracts leave the viewer enthralled and invigorated by their clashes of originality and a kind of sweet synesthesia that her wild palette provokes.
