“All interaction with color happens in and through the eye of the viewer. The same visual information then lands in receptors that are all molded by the whole life story of the individual that receives what is to be seen.”
MARKUS LINNENBRINK has worked with epoxy resin for over thirty years, and his intimate familiarity with the medium is evident in his deft manipulation of it. The work is a result of material and method, and Linnenbrink has developed distinct, intensely physical processes he calls “Cut,” “Drill,” “Drip,” and “Reverse” painting.
Color is at the center of Linnenbrink’s practice, and his gleeful dedication to creating spectra of unexpected hues is a driving force. Linnenbrink embraces, as he says, that “all interaction with color happens in and through the eye of the viewer. The same visual information then lands in receptors that are all molded by the whole life story of the individual that receives what is to be seen.”
