Marge Rendell (b. 1998) is a painter based in New York, NY. She received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020. Using ideas of "post-analog painting”, she questions beauty, idolization, and commodification. Accessing these notions through cyberculture and technology, she gives value and importance to the disposable. She makes overly attractive, desirable, and shiny objects that are critical of both herself, and society as a whole. Often asking her viewer to question their identity as a consumer.
