Elena Redmond has a “distinctive approach to self-portraiture, which boldly challenges conventional notions of identity, particularly those associated with a youthful femme,” wrote Clare Gemima in A Women’s Thing.
Elena Redmond uses self-portraiture as a window offering a voyeuristic, jewel-toned glimpse into her personal relationship with privacy, vulnerability and power. These themes are self-scrutinized by the artist’s investigation into infamous pop culture moments and virality in the Internet Age. Through a series of intersecting glazes, Redmond draws the focus from the realism of the detailed foreground to the soft and darkening upper edges, often framed by architectural elements.
Elena Redmond exhibited in DIMIN’s three-person exhibition “Unfeigned Mysteries” in 2024. Redmond has mounted solo exhibitions with Long Story Short Gallery in Los Angeles (2022) and Tchotchke Gallery in New York (2022). Redmond has a BA (2017) and MFA (2021) from Rhode Island School of Design, Providence.
Redmond will present a solo exhibition at DIMIN in the spring of 2025.
