Somewhere Soft

Dylan Rose Rheingold (US) is a painter whose practice blends surrealism with abstract figuration, drawing on themes of girlhood, identity, and cultural hybridity. Working in layered media, she creates luminous, textured dreamscapes that blur the boundaries between reminiscence and the subconscious, where personal histories and collective impressions converge in painterly form.

Her use of radiant color and fluid mark-making imbues the compositions with a sense of shifting temporality- images appear to emerge and dissolve simultaneously, mirroring the instability of identity and the fragility of remembrance. Within these spaces, figures often occupy states of transformation, embodying the complexities of belonging, becoming, and self-invention.

Rheingold is born and based in New York City and holds a MFA from The School of Visual Arts and a BFA from Syracuse University. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with solo presentations at T293, Rome and M+B Gallery, Los Angeles, alongside group exhibitions in New York, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, and Hangzhou.
