Works by Artist Thomas Linker on Exhibit at Art Coop II Gallery

October, 2003, Doylestown Pa - Works by Pennsylvania Artist Thomas Linker will be on display through November 12th at Art Coop II Gallery, a custom frame shop / art gallery located in the K-Mart / SuperFresh Shopping Center

Thomas Linker a widely recognized artist in the Northeast and a native of eastern Pennsylvania. Linker's deep love for the sea and rural scenery of the eastern seaboard are clearly reflected in his work. When not observing the great-outdoors for new material to paint, Linker is very comfortable painting a still life or creating a graphic in his studio. Linker's realism is tempered by a romantic sentiment, which produces a style of art that is particularly suited to scenes of sunsets, rustic houses, rolling landscapes and stunning beachscapes. Linker's work is exceptionally versatile. He can paint with a wonderful sense of realism, or if he desires, a colorful impressionistic free flowing pallet knife rendering. An occasional pastel painting may suit his fancy also.

Careful observation of Linker's work reveals his close attention to proportion and perspective. Born in 1936, his attention to detail is a reflection of a successful career as a mechanical engineering, project designer. However, his first love has always been art. Thomas is a self-taught artist with some formal training at the Fleisher Memorial School in Philadelphia. Early in his career, he was trained on the job as a commercial artist. He continued to practice and refine his art during that time and excelled as a part-time free-lance illustrator for several years. He has won many awards and his work is now in many prestigious collections.

One of Linkers most recent Limited Edition Giclee' Prints entitled "New Hope - Lambertville Bridge" is currently being displayed and available in two sizes. The artist's ability to print the Giclee's in his own studio enables him to offer excellent quality, fine art prints.

Several local artist's will be exhibiting at the Art Coop II Gallery in upcoming openings which will include Bucks County Artist's Paul Temple, Robert Allen, and Milli Pryor.
