Working across painting, printmaking and drawing, Adam conjures alternate realities of animate hybrids with an attention to seductive surfaces and forms. His work is informed by his own childhood self-discovery through cartooned and non-human worlds and his interest in understanding sexuality outside the bounds of human existence. Both humorous and sinister, Linn’s work taps into a collective feeling of desire through the exploration of touch. Linn received a BFA in Printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2017 and a MFA in Visual Arts at SUNY Purchase in Purchase, NY. He has had solo exhibitions with Marvin Gardens in Ridgewood, NY, Steve Turner Gallery in Los Angeles, CA and JPS Gallery in Tokyo, JP. Linn has participated in two person and group exhibitions at Ortega Y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn, NY, Hexum Gallery in Montpelier, VT, Steve Turner Gallery in LA, Martha’s Contemporary in Austin, TX, Prior Art Space in Berlin, Germany, Shin Gallery in New York, NY, the Curators Room in Barcelona, Spain and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg, PA, among others.
