Strange Twin

Satchel Projects is excited to launch the 2025 fall season with Strange Twin, an exhibition of recent paintings by Cynthia Lin. The works in Strange Twin literally and metaphorically upend the conventions of representational landscape painting. In this body of work, the horizontal landscape is reoriented, disrupting conventional reading and creating space for new associations and interpretations. Color is likewise uncoupled from the found palette, subverting traditional “push-pull” formalism and creating a flickering optical buzz. In an era of hyper-accelerated image consumption, Lin’s paintings invite slow looking and sustained contemplation. As their painterly richness and density unfold for the viewer, dissonance and consonance are given a place to coexist. Cynthia Lin is a painter living and working in New York City. The recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, Lin’s work has been exhibited at The DeCordova Museum, Lehmann Maupin, Yossi Milo, The National Academy of Design, The Drawing Center, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Michael Steinberg Fine Arts, and Pierogi Gallery.
