Alannah Farrell, Omari (FiDi), 2024; Limited Edition Print

Alannah Farrell is a gender-non-conforming artist whose paintings document their friends, lovers, and community. Informed by their coming-of-age within New York City’s queer nightlife during the 2000s, these works tenderly embrace the imperfections and singularities that define those portrayed. In the artist’s own words, “My paintings are a journey through time and emotion. Inviting sitters into the studio offers an adrenaline rush; the simple act of two people sitting in a space over time can create magic, growth, discovery, and many unforeseen opportunities for creation." Based in New York City, Farrell has exhibited their work in solo and group exhibitions at venues that include Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA; Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; Alexander Gray Associates, Germantown, NY; Harper’s, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA; Lyles & King, New York, NY; Richard Heller Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; and UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles.
