Xin Lian is a Chinese-born artist who binds the multiplicity of time through imprinting and embedding. To imprint and to embed are to leave behind traces of activities and presences that once lived. By capturing past energy through drawing, the residue of the past resides in the image of the “current”. Through the conversation of the past and the present, she attempts to reconstruct our current relationship with trauma, loss, and grief in the transient landscape of time. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her work has exhibited at Old Stone House Museum of Brooklyn (forthcoming), THE BLANC (forthcoming), CICA Museum, Museum of FIT, M. David & Co. Gallery, and Amos Eno Gallery. She completed her residency at Arts Letters & Numbers in June 2025.
