Asher Liftin (b. 1998) is an artist concerned with the mediation inherent in painted images, and with the mediation that occurs when we observe the outside world. His paintings embrace photography for its semblance of objective perception, and unravel into meticulously hand-painted fields of dots and lines. He received a B.A. in visual art and a B.S. in cognitive science from Yale University in 2021. Solo exhibitions include Nino Mier, New York (2026), Nino Mier, Brussels (2024), Nino Mier, New York (2023), Alessandro Albanese gallery, Milan (2022). Permanent collections include The Yale University Art Gallery and The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.
