Including Linda Overzee

Materials, aesthetics and apparent simplicity, which on closer examination always turns out to be much more complex, are central to Linda Overzee’s work. It is her goal to remain faithful to her language, to broaden and enrich. Over the years new developments can always be discovered, therefore her work continues to surprise.

Pure pigments and chalk are the elements Linda Overzee uses to create her fresco’s on linen. A unique process with striking results.

The frescoes are part of an age-old tradition. In Europe we know this from the Greek and Roman times. Similar techniques have been used throughout the centuries, from India to Latin America.

The frescoes from Overzee are made with traditional materials such as chalk and pure pigments. However, they are not frescoes in the original sense, if only because they are executed on canvas and not directly on a wall. It is a contemporary interpretation.
