Artist Statement:
Born in San Francisco, Linda
Adreveno has been creating art
since she was 10 and has
participated in several
exhibitions in the Bay Area as
well as other parts of the
country.
Text often finds its way into
her work. “I have always been
drawn to words, their power to
heal and to hurt, to be
innocently conveyed and at
times grossly misunderstood.
They also serve as a creative
force, communicating concepts
and ideas, influencing
perceptions, and creating
connections.”
At her studio in Hunters Point
Shipyard she uses newsprint
and newspaper headlines as the
foundation for her work. The
text is cut up and collaged
together before being painted.
This process is repeated
several times to create and
convey complexity and depth.
“Each piece is intended to be
like a conversation” … big and
small words, disjointed and
unfinished thoughts, pauses
and often emotion all
seemingly jumbled together. “
While there is certain
precision and deliberateness
in putting them together there
is an organic element in the
process that truly determines
what each will look like in
the end."
