Liliane Lijn: Art Meets Quantum Physics

Liliane Lijn, a pioneering artist renowned for her work in kinetic sculptures, has significantly influenced the art world since the 1960s. Her creations are characterized by the dynamic interplay of light and movement, often inspired by complex concepts in quantum physics and astronomy. Lijn has actively engaged with scientific communities, notably collaborating with researchers at the CERN nuclear research laboratory and the Space Science Laboratory at Berkely University.

Her artistic output includes imaginative installations featuring spinning texts, prismatic plastics, and light-emitting conical sculptures. These works are housed in prominent international collections, including New York's MOMA and the V&A. In 2025, Tate St Ives hosted a major retrospective of her art. Lijn recently published her memoir, 'Liquid Reflections,' sharing its title with one of her well-known artworks.
