Austin Lubetkin

Statement

Terms and Conditions Apply stages psychedelic nightmares of capitalism: shopping and scrolling as trance, luxury as anesthesia, and the body treated as inventory. Vivid color collides with colder, transactional space, asking how desire is manufactured, how attention is priced, and what gets extracted in exchange for convenience.

Lubetkin is an autistic artist whose sensory reality shapes the exhibition's visual language. Color maps emotion, overload, and moments of clarity, functioning as both signal and refuge. The work oscillates between seduction and alarm, mirroring a culture that sells identity back to us while demanding constant performance. The exhibition invites viewers to notice what is masked to appear seamless and what remains uncommodified when the brightness is turned down.

About

Austin Lubetkin is a visual artist and software engineer whose work is shaped by his experiences of autism and synesthesia. He sees language, sound, and emotion as colors and patterns, and translates this sensory crossover into bold, graphic compositions. Using the visual language of advertising, social media, and luxury branding, his work explores how identity, beauty, and neurodivergence are packaged, judged, and sold. Lubetkin is a member of the international artists association. Lubetkin's work has been exhibited at galleries and museums across the United States including recent exhibits at the Sasse Museum and Awita Gallery and in international exhibitions at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art and Red Dot in Basel, Switzerland. He has also served as both curator and featured artist for an exhibition at the Orlando Science Center, focusing on the intersection of technology and perception. In May 2026, Lubetkin will be curating a group show exploring the experiences of artists with autism at TAG Gallery
