About

Caitlin Reid (b. 1992, New Jersey) is an an artist based in Brooklyn. She is a co-founder of the curatorial group Immaterial Projects and Director of Programs at Tempest Gallery.

Influenced by her studies in philosophy of religion and art history, her current body of work draws upon the Greek allegory of Persephone's abduction from earth and transformation in the underworld. Trained in a realist style, she utilizes a combination of drawing, digital photography and artificial intelligence to construct her compositions, asserting the hybridity of creativity, human consciousness and technology.

Reid studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art from 2010-12 and earned her B.A. in Philosophy from Rutgers University in 2015.
