About the Item

"La Dame au Fauteuil" is a 1977 French postwar figurative oil on canvas by Linda Le Kinff. Signed and dated by the artist, this work is highly representative of her distinctive style, characterized by vivid color contrasts and a soft, romantic Parisian atmosphere. The composition depicts a seated woman in an interior setting, accompanied by an elegant armchair. The composition reflects the influence of Henri Matisse and Amedeo Modigliani, two major inspirations for Linda Le Kinff. Signed and dated lower right and on the back Newly wood framed About the artist : Linda Le Kinff, born in Paris in 1947, is a French-Brazilian painter. Although she was not originally destined for an artistic career, her encounters with artists in the 1960s led her to pursue painting. At eighteen, a stay in Florence proved decisive. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance, she began studying traditional techniques such as egg tempera, gold leaf, and printmaking, returning regularly to Italy to deepen her training. At the same time, she explored more contemporary media including acrylic and silkscreen. In 1974, she met the head of Christie's contemporary art department in London, who became an important supporter and helped launch her international career. She soon began exhibiting across Europe, Japan, Australia, and the United States. Her travels, particularly to India, Japan, and Morocco, also played a key role in shaping her visual language. Influenced by Henri Matisse, Gustav Klimt, Amedeo Modigliani, and Pablo Picasso, she developed a distinctive style centered on color, light, and the female figure. She has also worked in pastel, ink, watercolor, collage, and sculpture. She was named official artist of the 1998 FIFA World Cup in 1998, and in 2010 became the first French artist selected to create artwork for the Kentucky Derby. Today, Linda Le Kinff is recognized for a refined body of work shaped by strong technical discipline, cultural influences, and decades of international experience.

Woman In The Chair

By Elisabeth Sabala

Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL

Woman in the chair, heavy oil impasto on canvas framed. Elisabeth Sabala Abelló (Barcelona, 1956). She studied industrial design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona ​​and has a degree in Fine Arts, a specialty in painting, from the Central University of the same city. Sabala is a convinced figurative who has given all the prominence of her work to the representation of the human being in its most trivial aspects. At a time when the artistic landscape extols abstract and conceptual art focused on the great universal themes, Sabala continues to focus on the small defects that bring us closer to the collective and the human. The artistic progression of Sabala takes place, at first, from a bleak period to another vitalist and, later, from the representation of isolated characters (In the super, Reading the stories of the paintings) to the recreation of great concentrations of its peculiar individuals characterized in an endless number of situations (The Great Dance, The Girls of the Choir). Sabala's work is vital and touching, as well as scathing and satirical: it confronts its characters in the most varied situations, capturing, at the same time, the viewer's attention with an unusual juxtaposition of colors that do not seek chromatic harmony, but expression and movement through matter. In 1980 he won the first prize of a painting of the City of Castelldefels, and the following year he debuted individually in the Caixa Catalunya room, in Barcelona. In 1984, she was selected for the XXIII Joan Miró Drawing Prize, taking part in a traveling exhibition in Japan. Sabala won the first prize in the International Painting Competition of Pollença (Mallorca) in 1985, and the following year she took part in a collective held at the Martano gallery in Turin. That same year of 1986 she obtained the Scholarship of Plastic Arts of the Generalitat de Catalunya. He continues to hold personal shows in Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, Madrid, and Italy, and in 1989 he debuted in New York with an individual exhibition held at the Scott Alan Gallery. Since then she will reiterate his presence both in that city and in Paris, Berlin, Monaco, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Hong Kong, etc. His works have been present at Interactive, ARCO, Art Forum, Art Jonction and New Art, as well as in various Spanish museums. • Studies: Fine Arts, University of Barcelona • Industrial Design, School of Arts and Crafts, Barcelona Main exhibitions Spain: • Barcelona: ◦ Arcs & Cracks, 1990, 1992, Anna Benach 1993, Helena Ramos 1993 ◦ Maria Jose Castellvi 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001 “a wedding is a wedding” + Performance “Ella” ◦ 2004, 2006 “Fashion satisfaction” + Performance ◦ 2008 “Women's weapons” • Girona: ◦ Helena Ramos 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995 ◦ Cyprus Art...
