Carrie Rudd (b. 1994, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York) creates dynamic oil paintings that blur the boundaries between abstraction and narrative. Known for her layered, tactile surfaces and frenetic mark-making, Rudd’s work merges personal introspection with collective cultural memory. Her canvases unfold in vignettes—text fragments, references, and gestures that evoke both emotional immediacy and conceptual depth.
Based in Brooklyn, Rudd excavates and builds her surfaces through intensive material play. Each painting acts as a living document, guided by impulse yet grounded in careful compositional balance. With subtle nods to text, figuration, and digital overstimulation, her practice reflects a uniquely contemporary sensibility—one that embraces contradiction, intimacy, and disorder.
Rudd is represented by Polina Berlin Gallery in New York. Her work continues to gain recognition for its emotional charge and resistance to classification, offering a distinctive voice in a new generation of abstract painters.

“The rising Brooklyn painter often imbues her thick, cerebral, frenetic paintings with specific lived experiences embellished with dashes of dark poetry, but the title of this anxiety-ridden teenage memory says it all.” - SURFACE Magazine
