Hali Linn (b. Bartlesville, Oklahoma, 1987) is an artist who is interested in how popular media imagery encourages intergenerational adoptions of “sexiness”. The work functions as a representation of the materiality of ruined and objectified bodies that remember, recall, and carry on complex traditions of representation. Linn’s large-scale paintings and assembled sculpture explore the crafting of physical and psychological identity and how adornment aids in the endeavors of self-identification.
Linn received a BFA from Oklahoma State University (2010) and an MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2014) and was a student at the Art Students' League. She current lives and works in New York City.
