Bio
Kyle Reidmiller, an emerging artist from the rust-stained backwoods of Pennsylvania, spent his formative years with his nose lodged in either a fantasy novel or sketchbook. Hailing from a small home nestled in ten acres of abandoned farmland that resembled the bastard child of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Deliverance, Kyle sought escape in realms of whimsy and fantasy which permeate the concepts he frames his artwork in to this day. Growing up queer in a rural, predominantly conservative area led him to develop an innate sense of loneliness, which he cites to this day as the driving force behind his figurative obsession.
Kyle’s work has been shown regionally around Pennsylvania in both group and solo exhibitions, and during the Covid-19 pandemic he began to explore digital show options with groups from Canada and the Midwestern U.S. His professional experiences include numerous show installations, art organization membership, and instruction in drawing, painting, and art history for colleges, galleries, and art centers.
