exhibition · 2026-04-22

From February 25 to April 2, 2011, Judith Linhares showcased her exhibition 'Riptide' at the Edward Thorp Gallery, located at 210 Eleventh Avenue, 6th Floor, New York City. The collection highlighted paintings depicting mythological characters set against the backdrop of Northern California during the 1960s. A Los Angeles native, Linhares has resided in New York for three decades and honed her artistic approach within the 1960s and 1970s San Francisco art community. Influenced by Bay Area artist David Park, her notable works include 'Wave' (2010), 'Cave' (2010), 'Picnic Rock' (2008), and 'Slope' (2011). While critic Jerry Saltz pointed to Dana Schutz's influence, the article argues that Linhares' unique style predates Schutz's emergence.
