Lin Cheng's Multidisciplinary Practice Explores Female Experience Through Installation, Animation, and Printmaking

Lin Cheng, a Glasgow-based artist originally from China, investigates the human experience and voices often overlooked through various mediums, including illustration, printmaking, moving images, and installations. Her ongoing project, Silent Absence (2022–2024), transitioned from etchings depicting children impacted by domestic violence to a seven-minute video, presented in two segments reflecting the viewpoints of a woman and a child. Additionally, her installation Women in a Case (2018–2024) showcases a headless female figure crafted from blue tarpaulin, addressing themes of agency and commodification. Cheng's portfolio includes works such as Where the Wind Judges (2020), Relation (2022), and Dancing with the Line (2021). She participated in Art Is No Longer Narrated in September 2025, with upcoming exhibitions at Batsford in January 2026 and Six Foot in February 2026. Her art is part of the Brookline Arts Center collection, and she has garnered multiple awards.
