Markus Linnenbrink (Dortmund, Germany, 1961) is a German-born, Brooklyn-based artist best known for his monumental 'drip paintings' and installations. with an inventive use of material, process and color, linnenbrink pours, pools and brushes resin paintings with cumulative layers of opaque and translucent color.
Markus Linnenbrink tells:
"I think my work doesn’t scream politics because it’s colorful and beautiful or whatever, but I think of it as a space where you can let your mind wander and think about stuff. The title connects the work to the time it was made and makes you put the single letters together to the word that they form. It gives you a little bit of work that you can put in the back of your mind when you look at them. The title for IWOKEUPINAMERICA is from a song by Lonnie Holley who’s an amazing musician and artist himself, with relatively late recognition. He has a song called I Woke Up in a Fucked Up America, which is what happens to most people of color every day in a certain way and is something that I thought about, especially with what came last year with the demonstrations after George Floyd.
And me being–it’s kind of weird when I call myself an immigrant–but I am an immigrant because I lived in a different country and then became a citizen of this country. I’m thinking about this as a German who has come to the U.S. where this problem of racism and slavery existed and very much is still such a brutal reality. To discover how deeply embedded all of that is in this country over the years I’ve lived here is like wow, ok. This is really the way it is. So that had something to do with my reflection on living in this country. That’s where some of the titles for some of the pieces come from."

"I don’t think the division between representational and abstract is the most important way to analyze painting today, it’s more about the handmade or mechanically created vs the digital image. How far handmade it is, how many hands are in it, the questions of authorship that are raised and so on."
