Ginger Snow Semmelhack

Ginger Snow Semmelhack is a Brooklyn-based oil painter and recent BFA graduate from Kenyon College. She studied at the Student Arts League during high school and later spent time abroad at Bard College Berlin, where she focused on analog film photography and advanced oil painting. Throughout her academics, she maintained an active studio practice, balancing her education with a growing career as an artist. Her work has been exhibited in New York City, Ohio, and Berlin, and has appeared in Hyperallergic, Artnet, and Suboart International Art Magazine. Her second solo exhibition, Boys, will be held at 61 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, on September 5th, 2025, from 6–8 PM. //Semmelhack's exhibition, Boys, invites viewers into playful, surreal scenes that blur the line between horseplay and affection. Semmelhack reinterprets masculinity as something tender, physical, and strangely liberating. Drawn from childhood observations, the paintings in Boys reflect a fantasy of male connection, depicting young men engaging in ritual and closeness—moving through space with ease and physicality. This series serves as a meditation on admiration, envy, and longing for a world that has always felt out of reach. This exhibition explores the softness of platonic love through a rose-tinted female gaze.
