Dylan Rose Rheingold (US)

Rheingold graduated with an MFA in painting from the School of Visual Arts, New York and with a BFA in painting from Syracuse Unviersity, New York.

Nick Farhi (US)

Nick Farhi develops wonky and askew visual grammar, painting both still and moving life at a deliberately bewildering and unusual scale. Through the interplay between visual research (spanning from source, autobiographical photography and cinema) to an internal intuition for representation, Farhi juxtaposes daily life with obscure symbology. His influences range from his Jewish-Lebanese roots in New York City, to his time spent living along the North American East and West coasts, Mexico, and parts of Europe. Farhi delivers various addresses on daily life through mark making and abstract symbologies.

Nick Farhi (b. 1987, New York; US) lives and works in New York, US. The artist holds a BA and an MFA in Painting from Columbia University, New York, where he also teaches at the art department. He has also written extensively for Columbia University MODA Critical Review & Yale School of Architecture Paprika! Magazine In addition to numerous group exhibitions, notably at The Jewish Museum NY (New York; US), Nino Mier Gallery (New York; US), Marlborough Gallery (London; UK) and Mana Museum of Contemporary Art (Jersey City; US), the artist’s works has been featured in solo exhibitions at Palazzo Monti (Brescia; IT), Serving The People Gallery (Los Angeles; US), Golsa (Oslo; NO) and Stems Gallery (Paris; FR).
