For this third solo show with the gallery, Karshan has created two new bodies of work. In them, the viewer can share her sense of time and space, and witness the act of creating space by defining the breadth of one's essence.

Since 1994, her art has been the marking out of time - those numbers and rhythms that she carries in her being.

Linda Karshan is best known for her drawings on paper, which combine the rigor of a grid structure with the spontaneity and expressiveness of a very personal marking system.
