Renée Rey’s art reflects a vision for an inclusive, just, and healthy world. In both large and intimately scaled paintings, mixed media, and assemblage artwork, she creates other-worldly ecospheres that celebrate connection and kinship among diverse people, cultures, nature, and technologies. As she considers these concepts, Rey experiments with combining abstraction, realism, and surrealism, and varied media including oil, acrylic, paper, sandpaper, pins, clay, and wood branches.
Born in Japan, and now residing in South Florida, Rey’s artwork has been selected for national awards and exhibitions by art professionals, museum curators, and gallerists. Her artwork has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally.
Rey was invited to the School of Visual Arts Summer Painting Residency, New York, NY in 2019 and Sun Peak Center for Art and Sustainability, Colorado Springs, CO in 2016. The artist has studied drawing, painting, 3-D design, film, performance art, computer art and art history on the undergraduate and graduate levels in New York and Florida.
