VIEW WORKS

Rhys Ziemba (b. 1981, Webster Springs, West Virginia) is a self-taught painter and musician based in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn.

Working from his home studio, Ziemba transforms urban iconographies into expansive contemporary landscapes, exploring the tensions between spontaneity and deliberation. His practice navigates a balance between technical precision and expressive gesture, where trash, architecture, bodies, and geological formations are considered with equanimity.

Solo exhibitions include Thomas Van Dyke Gallery (Brooklyn, NY, 2024), KIPNZ (Walton, NY, 2023), Artcake (Brooklyn, NY, 2022), and James Fuentes Gallery (New York, NY, 2021, online). Recent group exhibitions include Diana (New York, NY, 2024), Artists for Kamala (online, 2024), and Swanson Kuball (Long Island City, NY, 2023).
