Liliane Lijn was born in New York and now lives and works in London. Lijn studied Archaeology and History of Art at the Sorbonne in Paris, where her interest in science and her friendships with Greek sculptor Takis and Beat poets William Burroughs, Bryan Gysin and Nazli Nour inspired her early works with light and text.

Best known for her work with language and light, Lijn has exhibited internationally since the 1960s. Her work features in numerous collections including, Tate London, the British Museum, and FNAC, Paris. 

In 2013, Lijn was one of six artists short-listed for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.

Liliane Lijn is represented in the UK by Riflemaker.
