Renee Rey
b. Sagamihara, Japan
Renée Rey, an award-winning artist and works in Delray Beach, Florida.
She creates mystical worlds through paintings, mixed media art, and installations, blending surrealism, abstraction, and historical Japanese painting motifs. Her work is deeply influenced by personal experiences, memory, and research, exploring historical and cultural ties to land, sea, and air. She emphasizes themes of solidarity, shared responsibility, and environmental stewardship in the face of climate change. Her art, composed of fragmented imagery from her explorations, challenges perception and reveals the transformative power of imagined realms, prompting reflection on fragility, resilience, connection, division, and spiritual quests.
Honored with the 2024 Dina Baker Fund Grant from the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Rey’s work has graced galleries across the globe. Recent solo shows include Bailey Contemporary Arts Gallery, Pompano Beach, FL, Tauni De Lessep Gallery at Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, FL, and the Hammond Hall Gallery, Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, AL. Her group exhibitions span the Baker Museum, Naples, FL, Flatiron Gallery, New York, NY, Studio 33, Spain, Art Brut Biennale, Netherlands, and Project Space Brut, South Korea.
