Kirsten Valentine is a figurative painter living and working in Philadelphia. Her work is an amalgamation of photographic, art historical and personal references translated through painting and contrasting realism and abstraction. While her work may appear pictorially “unfinished” it is compositionally complete. She has exhibited at Zg Gallery and Vertical Gallery in Chicago, IL Galerie Gardette in Paris, Blah Blah in Philadelphia, PA, Lubov Gallery and SPRING/BREAK Art Fair in New York, among others. She has been interviewed by Provk Magazine, Create Magazine and on the WGN podcast “The Cornerstore”, among others. She was shortlisted for the Spring 2020 Hopper Prize and attended the Vermont Studio Center Residency in 2025. Valentine’s work appeared in New American Paintings No. 149, Midwest Issue, in “Soft Punk Magazine” and on the cover of “Self-Imposed Exile” by Gwen Frost, published by Broadstone Books.
