JUPITER is proud to introduce Dylan Rose Rheingold, a New York-based artist whose work enterprises on celebrating cultural diversity and personal storytelling. Attempting to normalize cultural differences, Rheingold seeks inspiration from sources such as American folk and outsider art in addition to her own cultural background. As the daughter of a first-generation Japanese-American mother and a Jewish-American father, Rheingold uses family history as sources of inspiration for her work, often seeking out familial archives and anecdotes of which to devise artistic relationships from, although, she is also known to use anonymous photographs found in antique books and magazines to accumulate subjects for her work.
Rheingold is familiar with the steadfast nature of the advertising world having studied illustration with a focus in editorial work. These days, however, she embraces the open-ended and subjective qualities about her current practice. Layers of paint, pen, and the various other materials that Rheingold uses to create her large-scale work speak to the layered—and sometimes difficult—conversations that she strives to catalyze, such as those surrounding gender and racial quality or social realism.
