About Redin Winter
I wasn’t always drawn to abstract painting.
In fact, I used to avoid it—until I stood in front of Dynamism of a Soccer Player at MoMA. Something about the motion, the fractured energy, the ungraspable form—moved me. I walked away altered, and hungry to find my own visual language that could do the same for someone else.
I’m Redin Winter, an American painter with a studio practice based in San Diego, California. I came to painting through the long corridor of performance—years spent studying theatre, embodiment, abjection, and the feminine in academic and experimental spaces. After completing a doctorate in performance studies at UC San Diego, I returned to the canvas with urgency and reverence.
Since 2018, I’ve been painting with focus and fire—exhibiting across the U.S., selling original work internationally and across the United States, and allowing my practice to evolve through intuition, study, and sensory exploration.
My training spans formal and informal lineages—from visual art studies with Kate Ari Ashton, Kristen Ide, and Elizabeth Young, to theatrical stagecraft with Carol Wolfe Clay, to somatic and spatial perception under Ki Gottberg’s mentorship. I also studied drawing at Prima Materia Institute under Nukusha Beatty.
These influences—textual, physical, visual—live in my work. Each painting is a threshold: a way into something felt but not named.
