Carrie Rudd

FULL BODY CHILLS (by Allie and Anna), 2024, oil on canvas, 48 x 40 inches (121.9 x 101.6 cm)

Carrie Rudd probes the relationship between visual art and language through her practice. She actively synthesizes her thoughts as she handles paint on canvas: painting through to understand what she is painting, assigning frameworks for an idea within a deliberate compositional state. The resulting paintings erupt with fevered energy. Rudd is engaged with the possibilities of abstraction, deploying a conceptual process that engages with the work of a wide range of postwar and contemporary masters.

Rudd (b. 1994, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She earned her MFA at Hunter College. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Polina Berlin Gallery, New York, NARANJO 141, Mexico City, Chapter NY, New York,12.26, Dallas,Texas, Hunter College, New York, Hauser & Wirth, New York, and the Wellin Museum of Art, Hamilton College, Clinton, New York.
