Rebecca Rose Grant

Through her humorous approach to art, Grant’s work interlaces elements of wit and concept. Her artistry hinges on the unexpected, transforming everyday objects into whimsical narratives while adopting a decidedly lo-fi approach to artmaking, utilizing retro mediums such as facsimile machines, laser printers, and stickers—a punk hipster aesthetic. Her work invites the viewer to consider the deeper possibilities of gender and the potential for change and acceptance. Centering viewers to see the world through a lens influenced by Pop Art, the work of transgender and non-binary artists, and the broader cinematic landscape. Grant entices us to rethink traditional norms and challenge the underlying message of gender conformity. She has showcased her work in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, professionally brewed beer, and holds a Bachelor's and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
