Tilde in Sellwood will host a First Friday reception for Nicole Linde from 6:00pm to 9:00pm on Friday, June 1st. The show will run until July 31st, 2012.

In this particular body of work, Linde explores the energetic connection between animals, humans, plants, and molecules, all inspired by potential, invisible or hidden aspects within such connections. The paintings present shapes, intensely saturated colors, and fine repetitious details in acrylic and gouache on wood panel, varying in size and price range. Fine art prints are also available.

Linde is a Portland artist who works best in her private studio when it is quiet and peaceful. She is inspired by myths, the supernatural, outer space, fantasy, and dreams. Her artwork often consists of an energetic combination vivid colors, repetitive patterns, and intricate mark making. Linde likes to create fantastical places for herself as well as viewers to lose themselves inside. She hopes to engage the viewer through a sense of adventure, journey, and exploration.
