Lane Twitchell

Lane Twitchell is a New York based artist, born in Murray, Utah and raised in Ogden. An early interest in landscape painting has resulted in a working process and style which incorporates intricately cut paper into kaleidoscopic “landscapes” whose richly textured patterns form endlessly iterative combinations of the visual ephemera of the American unconscious, his own personal biography, and something like cosmic narrative contours not unrelated to the Rocky Mountain Mormonism of his upbringing. Lane Twitchell holds a B.F.A. from The University of Utah, which he attended on A Special Departmental Scholarship and an M.F.A. from The School of Visual Arts, New York. He is a two time New York State Foundation for the Arts fellow, in Drawing and Craft; a recipient of The Rema Hort Mann Foundation Grant; and a P.S.1/ MoMA National Studio Grant participant. In 2008 his work was the subject of a regional touring survey curated by Thomas Piche Jr. The artist’s work is included in public collections such as The Baltimore Museum, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, and The Museum of Modern Art and notable private collections such as Sammlung Goetz, Munich DE, and The Rachofsky Collection, Dallas, Texas.
