Linda Salerno

This title offers a stunningly illustrated look at the multilayered and multidisciplinary work of contemporary artist Linda Salerno.

Since the mid-1980s, contemporary artist Linda Salerno has seen herself primarily as a painter.

However, from the very beginning of her career, photography has played an important role as a resource for her work.

Her current "Black Mirror Series" consummately blends the two art forms into multilayered images.

They may at first appear as slightly manipulated photographs of a female figure in nature, but on closer inspection they reveal a complex combination of painting, drawing, and photography with allusions to the artist's broader poetics.
