Michael Lin: Performing Artist in New York

About Michael Lin

Michael Lin is a Taiwanese contemporary artist whose practice moves between painting and conceptual work, shaped by a life spent across Tokyo, Taiwan, the United States, and his current bases in Brussels and Taipei. His projects often treat surface and pattern as architecture, scaling painterly decisions to the size of rooms and public spaces. In New York City, his work appears at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the exhibition “Michael Lin: Pentachrome.” Lin’s approach favors structure and context over personal narrative, letting color operate as a kind of quiet system.
