| Linda Farquharson is
a well-known contemporary Scottish printmaker. She works mainly
in the relief-printing medium of linocut although she also makes
small wood engravings that successfully carry forward her
unmistakable style.
Linda graduated as a printmaker
from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, with a first
class honours degree and she won the coveted Sekalski
prize. Her prints are found in many corporate collections
including those of the Bank of Scotland, the Royal Bank of
Scotland, Edinburgh Fund Managers and the Western General NHS
Trust.
Linda has exhibited her work to
great critical acclaim. Technically, she is extremely
accomplished and is much admired by her peers.
"Linda
Farquharson's linocuts are very colourful (the colours are often
strong but nearly always subtle - qualities I might have thought
impossible to combine before viewing this exhibition). They
display a careful balance of richly patterned areas and calmer
restful passages.These linocuts are not just a celebration of
colour and pattern - they are extremely skilfully planned,
executed and printed - and humour abounds"
Claire
Dalby, Newsletter of the Society of Wood Engravers, May 1999
"Her work, in
necessarily very limited editions, is a stylish delight"
"A distinguished student at
Dundee, she has gone onto develop the art of linocut to extremes
of delicacy and finesse that, compared with the raw sweep of
Germanic tradition, look like filigree alongside tatty bags.....I
think some of her limited edition prints could become the Jessie M
King collector's pieces of the day after tomorrow."
