Goldfish in Red

Adrianne Rubenstein was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1983.
Rubenstein is a mid-career artist who looks for source material in a variety of places: “ebay, museums, memories, art fairs, text messages, the sidewalk, dreams, books, NPR, nature, conversations.” Her recent paintings oscillate between illustration and abstraction, often focusing on the natural world –plant life, honeybees, and abundant spears of broccoli. Visual humor, or something like it, is a recurring presence in Rubenstein’s work: a self-conscious yet deceptive aesthetic strategy that serves to disrupt and mask the work’s evident serious intent.
