BIOGRAPHY

Lauren Altman is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist whose work bridges sustainable fashion and mixed-media art. Known for her eco-maximalist style, Altman transforms reclaimed textiles into sculptural paintings, installations, and garments that celebrate womanhood, material memory, and joy. Her practice explores the expressive potential of upcycled materials—layering fabric remnants, deconstructed garments, embroidery, dye, and painterly techniques to merge fiber, image, and form.

Her recent shows include a solo exhibition at The Untitled Space in New York; an upcycled installation at Coachella in collaboration with Coca-Cola; and group exhibitions at Art Basel Miami, Escuela Superior de Artes de Yucatán in Mérida, Mexico; Bow Arts in London; Grimmuseum in Berlin; and TheArtDept. Gallery in Los Angeles.

Altman’s work has gained recognition across art and fashion for its innovative spirit and commitment to an inclusive, sustainable future. Her creations have been featured in Forbes, Page Six, Whitehot Magazine, Untitled Magazine, Time Out New York, Fashion Week Daily, and more.

She holds a BFA in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design, an MA in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art, and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded a PennDesign Grant to research textile craft and production at the Penn South Asia Center’s Artist Residency in Chennai, India.
