David Linneweh

Linnewehs work explores how humans gain meaning in their lives from the environment around them. He claims to question the idealism in American landscape my constructing and deconstructing landscapes through prints and paintings. People define themselves by the environment they choose, but cities decay over time and the pride behind them lives on.

I like Linneweh's work because of his use of texture and solid blocks of color. His work, although architecture in form and content, is not at all exact or measured. This leaves his landscapes appearing chaotic and unbalanced. I really like this because it evokes feeling. When looking at some of his work, you see a decaying cityscape. This aged look makes the content seem even more real.
