Linet Andrea

Ancy-le-Franc, France
Artist (Drawing, Painting)
Born 1969

Linet Andrea, a contemporary French multidisciplinary artist, embarked on her artistic journey during her time at Chelsea College of Art in the early 90s, where she discovered the world of contemporary circus. While pursuing her degree in Sculpture & Multimedia, Linet found herself drawn to both trapeze training and art-making, recognizing the dynamic and human elements that the circus brought to contemporary art.

Driven by a desire to infuse art with the raw danger and truth of the circus, Linet left London to fully immerse herself in aerial training, ultimately earning her diploma from the National Circus School of France (CNAC) at the age of 27. As she continued to hone her skills as a performer, Linet also began to explore her passion for drawing and painting, incorporating elements of live performance into her artwork.

Throughout the late 90s, Linet toured internationally with renowned circus companies such as Archaos and Cahin Caha, all the while exhibiting her artwork on tour. Her distinctive charcoal lines and figurative themes of live performance quickly attracted collectors, establishing her as a notable artist within the contemporary art world.

In 2000, Linet settled in Burgundy, France, where she founded both a family and a gallery space known as Angstrôm. Here, she curated exhibitions and events primarily centered around her own paintings and drawings, which continued to explore the themes of circus and human expression. Linet's work gained further recognition through international exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco, the Sapporo Art Park in Japan, and La Villette in Paris.

In addition to her exhibitions, Linet has undertaken numerous private and public commissions, including a notable project for the Heritage Foundation of France, creating 14 stations of the Cross. Today, Linet continues to work from her studio in Burgundy, where she places gestural freedom at the core of her artistic process.

With a focus on themes of liberation from various forms of oppression, Linet's work delves into the complexities of human experience, offering a nuanced exploration of sexuality, female emancipation, and the pursuit of freedom. Her recent exhibition, "Dreaming Mutiny," held in 2022, further underscores her commitment to challenging societal norms and advocating for personal liberation through art.
