This week we welcome Alex Rudin, a NYC-based multimedia artist and illustrator whose work focuses on social justice, abstract political theory and human rights. Alex attended both Parsons New School of Design and the School of Visual Arts. In 2019, she founded her creative studio, Rudin Studios. Alex’s pieces place a strong emphasis on expressive portraiture.
Her art attempts to comment on the complexities of the human experience through stylized portraiture and anecdotal commentary. She is currently focused on creating work to galvanize action around social and political issues.
Rudin has partnered with organizations such as Women For Biden Harris 2020, WomenRising, the Women’s Rights Information Center, P.O.W.E.Repro, ARC-Southeast, Her Bold Move and Planned Parenthood, among other female-led organizations. She also collaborates with human rights organizations such as Article 3, The Representation Project and the Sam & Devorah Foundation for Trans youth.
Rudin’s work has been featured in publications such as Art Daily, Art Business News, Authority Magazine, Yahoo!, and USA Today. Her paintings and illustrations have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in New York City, Jersey City, Delaware, Philadelphia, and the Hamptons.
