Allan Linder Exhibitions from 1989 to present.


Allan Linder was born in 1966, the great grandson of Italian Immigrants. His father deserted his family when Linder was only eight years of age, leaving Linder and his three siblings to be raised in a nomadic lifestyle that prominently plays a role in his body of work.

A versatile artist from early childhood, Linder instinctively knew how to draw filling endless sketchbooks with his imagination. At the age of fifteen he was nationally acknowledged placing him in the top ten percent of art students in America. Linder went on to receive the Bank of America award for achievement in art and was given a financial scholarship. In 1984 he exhibited his already substantial body of work in his first gallery showing, exhibits of which now spread from Los Angeles to New York City.

Allan Linder is currently exhibiting in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Hamburg, Germany; Paris, France and New York City. He also has a permanent collection on display in Los Angeles, California. He continues to work with a fever of enthusiasm and unceasing passion, challenging the viewer’s intellect as well as embracing the soul.

Allan Linder works within the precincts of acrylic on canvas, in the mien of such inspirations as Gustave Doré and Salvador Dali, to create a sizeable collection of surrealist reflections of an urban environment.  With a memory of a city’s movement and its stillness (people and objects), Linder captures the incessant and unyielding nexus of an, at times, overwhelming locale. His anonymous subjects pass with hidden faces, nameless strangers, one after another.

“By observation I examine the form and the shape of how things are made, and then I return to my studio with a renewed vigor. I pour over my canvas for hours and days and it seems like minutes and seconds.”

Linder’s inquiry through art has been a life long effort, having won a ‘Bank of America’ artistic scholarship at the age of eighteen and continuing on to exhibit up and down the coast of California, where he originally began his career.  As in Center of it All in what seems an open lens look at a non-stop Times Square, memory merges with reality to posit an inexhaustible view of an insomniac metropolis. Linder reflects,

“When my paintbrush flows my life has rhythm and everything has its tides. I enjoy exploring life’s little paradoxes through my artwork. After all one can never stop learning.”
