About the artist

Nehemiah Cisneros ’s (b.1986, Los Angeles) work celebrates histories of figurative painting by inserting familial characters as central figures within iconic and lesser known works of art. The process of subverting paintings that have penetrated art historical; as well as, illuminating niche visual art genres is Cisneros' practice of navigating his place within art history. Cisneros’ work is riddled with meta meanings, often introspective and vulnerable. Like diary entries, each body of work straddles contemporary events while archiving culture. Cisneros received his BFA from Kansas City Art Institute in 2021, and his MFA from the University of California Los Angeles in 2024. His work is in the collection of the Rubell Museum and the MAC3 collection. His previous exhibitions include Paranoid Style at Josh Lilley Gallery and America (Soy Yo!) at Charlie James Gallery.
