Annie Lins work explores femininity through a series of abstract acrylic paintings which capture snapshots of her imagination. The palette of bright confectionery colours alludes to a perceived superficial gloss disguising darker themes. Rounded organic bodies pierced by hooks and thorns evoke danger, desire and constraint. A variety of richly textured and patterned materials unravel to reveal delicate membranous surfaces. These surfaces give tactile expression to feelings not only of exposure and vulnerability but also of excitement and arousal.
Annie Lin received her initial training in Taiwan where she learned traditional forms of Eastern painting which she has subsequently translated into a contemporary idiom. She is Artist-in-Residence at Nottingham Universitys Lakeside Arts Centre from 2008-2009.
2008-2009 Artist in residence at the DH Lawrence Pavilion, Lakeside Art Centre,University of Nottingham,UK.
