Rae Klein

Based in Michigan, Rae Klein (b. 1995) concentrates the everyday with the uncanny, distilling her subjects from their native time and space, and superimposing them on endless planes of color and form. Her work probes the moment control slips away, rendering uncanny, theatrical scenes that sit between whimsy and imminent calamity. From glittering chandeliers and sword-like candelabra to creatures familiar and fantastical, her imagery serves to realize the iconographic endeavors of mankind to reconcile the wilderness of the unknown. Recent solo exhibitions include DOUBLECROSS , Nicodim, Los Angeles (2025); Rae Klein , Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Los Angeles (2025); POWERPLAY , Nicodim, New York (2023); The Comfort in Calamity , Jessica Silverman, San Francisco (2022); Waiting In The Field , The Valley, Taos (2021); among others.
