Adam Linn

Adam Linn is a painter and printmaker based in Pittsburgh, PA. After receiving his BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2017 he moved back home to continue his interdisciplinary practice. Adam explores his fascination with anthropomorphism in the depiction of a queer universe, rife with all things perverse and comical but also sinister and twisted. He creates quasi-genre paintings portraying a clan of cat creatures inhabiting, interacting with, and exploiting a space somewhat reminiscent of the pastoral landscape. Adam continues to develop this cast of characters with embedded histories and underlying humor to subvert the canons of classical wildlife painting and narrative scenery.
