Linda Cordner’s most recent body of work marks a striking evolution in her artistic practice. Known for her ethereal, minimalist colorfields, Cordner has recently embraced a more structured visual language—compositions built from overlapping geometric forms that retain her signature sensitivity to light, texture, and atmosphere. This transformation in her painting reflects an equally profound shift in her personal journey, a testament to the intimate link between life and art.
Cordner’s work continues to explore the interplay of color, light, and depth, but now through a refined process of layering abstracted geometry. Her pieces evoke a deep connection to the natural world and a quiet meditation on the inevitability of aging. Working in transparent media, she builds up surfaces slowly, allowing the history of each brushstroke to remain visible within the final composition.
The result is a textured, luminous field that reveals its own evolution, each layer a record of time, memory, and change. As her practice continues to evolve, Linda Cordner’s work stands as a powerful reflection on transformation itself, reminding us that nothing is constant but change.
