Art Talks at Brand with Nehemiah Cisneros

Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This talk features Nehemiah Cisneros.

Nehemiah Cisneros' work celebrates histories of figurative painting by inserting familial characters as central figures of iconic and lesser known works of art. The process of subverting paintings that have penetrated popular culture; as well as illuminating niche visual art genres is Cisneros' practice of navigating his place within art history. Cisneros’ work is riddled with meta meanings, often introspective and vulnerable. Like diary entries, each body of work straddles contemporary events while archiving culture. Cisneros received his BFA from Kansas City Art Institute in 2021, and his MFA from the University of California Los Angeles in 2024.

Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.

The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates and is free and open to the public. Arrive early to view the current exhibition, Artifacts from an Unborn Empire. For information about all of the programs in the Fall 2026 series, visit BrandLibrary.org/Art-Talks. Program will take place in the Brand Library Recital Hall.
