Linwood Hart lives in North Carolina and paints with acrylics and sometimes embeds paper and fiber materials within the paint as he works. Multiple layers are built up until at some point he starts to scrape, scar and melt the canvas to create the surface and texture he is seeking. It is in the continual process of covering up then revealing of the undercoats that my paintings come forward or recede on the canvas. In September 2010, Linwood was selected as the Durham Art Guild’s 2010-2011 Artist-in-Residence at Golden Belt.
