Linwood is a master of mixed media, skillfully blending materials such as acrylic, oil, pastel, pencil, and found objects into complex, layered compositions. His work invites viewers to discover personal meaning within a tapestry of textures, colors, and forms, often striking a balance between chaos and beauty. At the heart of his art is an ever-present joy—a theme that resonates deeply, suggesting life’s transformative journey.
A recurring motif in Linwood’s pieces is the "bateau," or vessel, symbolizing transcendence and exploration. Through this imagery, he captures the sense of life as a voyage, continually evolving and expanding. His distinctive use of color plays a pivotal role, where unlikely hues come together seamlessly, creating an unexpected harmony that speaks to his vision. Linwood’s work is as much about the interaction of materials as it is about the emotions and symbolism that emerge, making each piece a dynamic and resonant experience.
