Dustin Yellin (born Los Angeles, July 22, 1975) lives and works in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Yellin has been exhibiting art in solo and group exhibitions since 2001. He was represented by Robert Miller Gallery from 2005 until 2010. Yellin is currently represented by Vito Schnabel. He recently began renovations on a Civil War-era building in Red Hook. The space will house a multi-purpose art facility containing an artist residency program, an exhibition space, a sculpture garden, and Yellin’s studio.
Dustin Yellin’s work is a hybrid of painting/collage and sculpture. Yellin uses a layering process to build three-dimensional forms and two-dimensional images within the forms. He constructs his works out of paint and paper on multiple layers of glass that are ultimately laminated together to create three-dimensional sculptures. As result of this process, the glass is both a sculptural object and a vessel for the scene created inside. The scenes within the forms reflect the shifting depths of our mental landscape by recontextualizing images from history, nature, and technology and setting them within Yellin's shifting spaces.
