AEIVA Presents Kate Meissner: Replica
“Replica” is an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Meissner, and the artist’s first institutional solo show. Meissner’s lurid canvases depict scenes both seductive and unsettling. Otherworldly figures inhabit settings reminiscent of nightclubs, theaters, hospitals and dressing rooms, where one is often watched or examined. Drawing just as much from surrealist filmmakers as from past painting traditions, Meissner’s work evokes fantastical private moments from a stage play that the audience was never intended to see.
Based in Los Angeles, Meissner holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Yale University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from California Polytechnic University. Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at 1969 Gallery and the Armory Show in New York, and in group exhibitions at Lyles and King, New York; Office Baroque, Antwerp; and Green Hall Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut. She was recently featured in Frieze Magazine’s “Five Emerging Artists to Watch at Frieze Los Angeles 2025” and in Cultured Magazine’s “2024 Young Artists.” She is represented by Lyles and King, New York.
