Adrianne Rubenstein

Artist Adrianne Rubenstein lives and works in New York City. Adrianne’s work often depicts everyday objects, motifs from the natural world and her memories from childhood. Heavily influenced by female artists from previous generations such as Susan Rothman and Faith Ringgold, Rubenstein seeks to carry the traditions of powerful female artists and makers into her own work. 

‘You have to totally forget yourself and forget everything to make the best possible painting, just get back to a childish wonder and inventiveness’

The New York Times said of her latest exhibition ‘Magic Show’:

“Adrianne Rubenstein throws the last century or two of Western art history into a cozy acid bath. Loose figurative still-life motifs skate over lush torrents of abstract colour”

Like Austin Austin, Rubenstein is interested in the transformation of gallery artworks when they are brought into everyday life on a product.

‘I love to see the transformation and the interplay between studio art that it’s just utterly expansive, and the specificity of a product. The image of the artwork on products means the art is going to places that I would never even think of, like this infinite Hall of Mirrors’ – Rubenstein

Rubenstein received her B.F.A from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and her M.F.A from The San Francisco Art Institute. She has exhibited her work at solo exhibitions in New York, LA and Miami.
