Rachel LaBine

Rachel LaBine is a visual artist living in New York and Mexico City. She was born on a new moon in January of 1987 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. When she was 10 years old, the river next to her mother’s house flooded the entire town. That event taught her a lot about painting. She completed a MFA at Columbia University in 2019, and a BFA at RISD in 2010. She received the Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Award in 2019.

Her previous solo shows have taken place at Et al (San Francisco), Gallery 12.26 (Dallas), Bibeau Krueger (NYC), Fourteen30 Contemporary (Portland, OR), and a solo presentation at Material Fair (Mexico City) with Bibeau Krueger. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including at Passerelle Centre d’art contemporain (Brest, FR), Naranjo 141 (Mexico City), False Flag (NYC), Night Gallery (Los Angeles), and a three-person show at Lyles & King (NYC). Her work has been reviewed in The New Yorker, and mentioned in Artforum and Artnet. Since 2023, Rachel has taught drawing courses at Columbia University as an Adjunct Assistant Professor.
