LINDA McCUE
Yesterday Today Tomorrow

Dear friends of the gallery,
In her fifth solo exhibition, YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW, at Galerie Vera Munro, Hamburg-based Canadian artist Linda McCue presents new works in dialogue with her 2023 series FAMILY WALLS. Once again, the focus is on themes that run through McCue’s work are memory and transience, as well as an exploration of the concept of home.
The title of the Family Walls series already hints at a connection between home and family—the works reflect the ambivalence inherent in this relationship. The painterly transfer of the wallpaper and fabric patterns that McCue used as templates for this series creates multi-layered surfaces in which personal memories overlap with the fleeting nature of memory itself. Irregularities, omissions, and blurring are not concealed—they are an integral part of the works.
“By transferring excerpts of these patterns onto canvas, Linda McCue recalls disappearing traditions without attempting to convey nostalgia. Rather, her images sensitize viewers to the phenomenon of change and to the awareness of customs that evolve over time.” (Meike Behm) McCue’s new works also explore the tension between memory and the present.
