Alannah Farrell (b.1988, Kingston, NY) is a queer painter who lives and works in the East Village, NewYork, NY. They grew up in a rural hamlet in upstate NY, cast in the shadow of a rocky household, raised by two outside-the-system creative parents. They began undergraduate studies at The Cooper Union, NewYork, NY, receiving their BFA in 2010. Their work was previously exhibited at The Painting Center, New York, NY (solo); Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York, NY (solo); Ghost Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and Brilliant Champions, Brooklyn, NY, among others.
Their work centers around a humanistic celebration of the individuals in their community, a predominantly queer creative community in NYC, by exposing the personal struggles, uncertainties, intimate moments, and triumphs they face.
