Artist Linn Meyers normally creates work characterized by a cumulative sequence of marks, meditatively applied. Here, in a darkened room, natural and artificial light is introduced and animates Two Works. The light passes through plain and colored gauze, creating three-dimensional, illusionistic works which reveal a painterly sensibility.
Linn Meyers’ paintings, drawings, and site specific works have been shown in public and private venues, including The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC; The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tokyo, Japan; The Corcoran Museum of Art, Washington, DC; The Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; The Drawing Center, New York; The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC; Sandra Gering Inc, New York; Jason Haam, Seoul, South Korea; Morgan Lehman and ParisConcret, Paris, France, among others.
