linn meyers

linn meyers (b.1968, Washington DC)sees her work as an act of resistance to the ever-increasing speed and scale of the world in which we are living. She dedicates her practice to tenderness, and an unhurried, deliberate approach to image-making.  Meyers makes paintings, drawings, prints, and large-scale, immersive, site-specific wall drawings. Systems of mark-making based on the grid – a structure that implies stability, organization, and uniformity – propel her compositions. The slippages and imperfection of her human touch inevitably challenge the order and predictability of the grid.

linn meyers’ work has been the focus of solo exhibitions in prestigious museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum, the Hammer Museum, and the Phillips Collection. meyers has established a distinctive voice in contemporary drawing, painting, and printmaking with works exhibited at the AmorePacific Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea, the Smithsonian American Museum, Washington DC, The Drawing Center, New York, NY, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, among others. meyers’ work has been acquired by numerous institutions including the British Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. meyers lives and works between Washington DC and Los Angeles, CA.
