LYNDA GENTILE

"Winds"
White Alabaster

"Tunnel of Souls"
Pink Alabaster

Lynda Gentile is a profoundly intuituve artist who draws from her own inner sense of reality a meaning deeper than any surface depiction could express.  Her art conveys a compelling sense of personal, subjective reference which nonetheless taps a universal vein.  Gentile's compositions are clearly spontaneous, rather than deliberately preconceived, yet they contain an element of inevitability.  Working most frequently in alabaster, a peculiarly sensitive and diverse material, she goes beyond respect for its inherent properties and fuses her aesthetic instinct with the stone, making her work a natural expression of its physical character.

"I believe that in order to create, one must transcend the present reality and become one with the subject.  Through this transformation energies fuse; sense of self and judgement do not exist - Nature speaks - Creativity is born.  This mode of creativity is one aspect of the theory of Fantastic Realism.".
