BIO

Known for painting in the studio, on location, and at live events, painting is truly an extension of Ari Lankin’s lifestyle. He received his BFA with High Honors in Painting and Economics from Brandeis University.   He worked at the Guggenheim as an educator for five years, spending countless hours engaged with art objects.  Lankin collaborates in a wide variety of projects, including design, apparel, film, performance, curation, and street art.  His most notable collaborations are that he designed a shoe for Adidas and he assisted Tino Sehgal during his solo show at the Guggenheim.  Lankin lives in Manhattan, where he has had his current studio in East Harlem for the past five years.  He will inhabit the seven continents before his departure from the physical world.
