Amity
by Linda Adair
With this Neo Baroque, Carnivale and Rococo themed series I hope to transport the viewer into another world, much like the theatre and opera transports us into their reality. And through this momentary suspension of reality show the viewer the art of the duel.
Inspired by this Oscar Wilde quote, “Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.” I aim to communicate the dynamic of human intimacy and the power plays involved.
This body of work was initially inspired by histories of actual female duels, I then expounded on that idea by imagining these would be set as a re-telling for a theatre play or opera. What has typically been regarded as a masculine art, I was fascinated to find the actual recorded events of female duels, some rather famous and spectacular.
Creating work that is classically driven with the influence of contemporary themes, I often incorporate elements that are meaningful to me such as agency, emotions, mystery and humanity to name a few. Exploration of these elements in relationships, friendships, solidarity and intimacy fuels these paintings.

“Creating a quiet narrative with a little mystery is something I am always trying to achieve. My hope is to create works that communicate emotions that are universal, from experiences and shared histories. I gravitate to the beauty of realism with the added element of narrative”
