"Cryptos I" by Linda Maldonado

Cryptos I by Linda Maldonado

"Cryptos I”, a vivid painting on canvas by Linda Maldonado, is representative of Linda's experimental work with acrylics and collage. Layers of colors applied to a textured surface build to a rich and exciting finished effect. Elements of the painting are alternately revealed and veiled, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Like many of Linda's recent works, “Cryptos I” presents an abstract image based on imagination, intuition, and endless possibilities.

This blog will highlight works of art that are currently on display at the Arlington Arts Gallery, 5179 Lee Highway, Arlington VA.

The Arlington Arts Gallery represents over 60 artists in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area.  It was founded as a cooperation between Duc Nguyen of Lat Viet Gallery and the Arlington Artists Alliance.  Together, a new gallery was formed to bring local artists into the limelight.  The artists consist of emerging artists as well as artists who have been collected over the years.  Paintings styles run the gamut from traditional paintings to the abstract.  There are oil paintings, acrylics, water color, collage, pastel, mixed media, ceramics and sculpture.  Just as Arlington's population is diverse, so are the artists that are represented in this gallery.
