LOBBY ART INSTALLATION

Business School, The Hood Museum of Art, Museum Neue Galerie in Germany, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Jose Museum of Art, and UCLA’s Hammer Museum, among others Linnenbrink’s approach to his art – especially site-specific work – is to do very simple things over and over to create density, layers and context. With help from gravity and materials, the process unfolds in various and sometimes unexpected ways, inspiring new directions for paintings, sculptures and installations. Seeking out surprising, unusual and satisfying collections of individual colors is a challenge that drives his work. He pursues the bigger context of the personal and seeks to reveal the logical side of the sensual.
