Renee McGinnis (born 1962) is an American artist based in Chicago who is widely known for her depictions of rusting mega-structures imbedded in various forms of beauty. Her primary subjects include Battersea Power Station in London, the extinct steel mills of the eastern United States and the great north Atlantic Luxury liners of the early 20th century. Much of her work uses these structures as metaphor. B. David Zarley, Chicago Contributor at New American Paintings wrote of her subjects, "they are impossible; affronts to reality and the realities of the physical world, they are the inevitable avatars of a vicious cycle of horror and pulchritude, one which has spun as long as civilization, powered by wind, sinew, and steam but with the desires of humanity always the engine."
