About the Item
Linda Stein, Sentinel 689 - Feminist Contemporary Black Leather Metal Figurative Wall Sculpture
Linda Stein started her Knights of Protection series after she was forced to evacuate her New York downtown studio for a year post-9/11. Stein’s Knights function both as defenders in battle and symbols of pacifism. The series references popular and religious icons such as Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke and the Buddhist goddess of mercy Kannon, and addresses protection, safety and upstander behavior.
Sentinel 689 was part of Linda Stein's exhibition titled "The Fluidity of Gender", which has traveled to 30 institutions in the US, including the Holter Museum of Art and Noyes Museum of Art. The sculpture is made with a skin of black leather, metal and mixed media.
Stein's works are in more than 25 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery & Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Finland; and Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden.
Throughout her artistic career, Linda Stein's work has addressed issues of persecution and protection, focusing on oppression of the “other” through the lens of anti-bullying and social justice. As result of running for an entire day from the falling Twin Towers in the Ground Zero area of Manhattan, her previously-abstract work after 9/11 became figurative, armor-like, and she realized that she was creating visual and visceral symbols of protection, androgynous sentinel-like figures to stand guard against the foe. Her work often incorporates a family of pop-culture and religious icons like Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke, Lisbeth Salander, Lady Gaga, Storm and Nausicaa, that start conversations about issues of power and vulnerability. Her works are in more than 25 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery & Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden; and Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Sweden.
