Petrina Ryan-Kleid

I’m a New York–based artist interested in the strange overlap between politics, power, and spectacle. My paintings explore how public figures become characters, part mythology, part media construction, and part collective imagination. Satire has always been one of art’s most powerful tools. Sometimes the best way to understand the world is simply to paint it. To see more of the painting and related works, visit the official website: https://www.maewemedia.com/petrina-ryan-kleid
