About
Dylan Rubin is a Chicago based artist from Yonkers, New York working between photography, sculpture, and print-making. Positioning self-portraiture and analog abstraction against constructed architectural forms, they examine the body’s constant flux alongside the shifting nature of urban environments. By collapsing the lines between privacy and publicity, and destruction and evolution, their work speaks to the temporality of our physical bodies as structures in a constant cycle of change.
