Walter Art Gallery Presents "Glorious Vulnerability" Paintings by Amber Linkey

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Sept. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- Walter Art Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of self-taught local artist Amber Linkey with Glorious Vulnerability. With each of her paintings, the artist seeks to capture a moment in time, a moment in life, a moment without labels or captions or limits. The works suggest the possibility for color in the absence of light and represent an inseparable layering of emotions. Linkey wants her work to be an inspiration for those who see it and a reminder to be comfortable with vulnerability. "I think art and vulnerability need each other to exist," she says.  "The ability to create and to aspire to more than survival is one intangible beauty about humans that I want to capture and use to connect people, or spark something within them."

Linkey originally began creating by drawing and painting realistic, traditional imagery, but she eventually discovered the freedom of abstract expressionism. For Linkey painting is truly cathartic, and she finds inspiration for her work through movement, sounds, and color. Her works utilize acrylic paint due to the artist's fast-paced creation process, the saturated pigmentation of the paint, and her ability to control the opacity. Color is extremely important to Linkey who feels that she is able to express many different human feelings and emotions, as well as bring our senses to life in a visual way.
