Tallulah Dirnfeld | I Was Always Good: Solo Exhibition | Los Angeles

13 September - 2 November 2025

Overview

Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is pleased to announce I Was Always Good, Tallulah Dirnfeld's first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Opening Reception | Saturday, September 13th, 2025 | 5 - 8 PM

1923 S Santa Fe Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90021

In I Was Always Good, Tallulah Dirnfeld presents a series of paintings that examine the quiet rituals of control and self-containment. Faceless, uniformed figures occupy tightly composed interiors. Neatly made beds, braided hair, polished chrome. Where every surface is ordered and every gesture restrained, carrying a faint sense of nostalgia.

Tallulah Dirnfeld (b. 1994, NYC) is a Los Angeles-based artist known for emotionally charged, surreal scenes that explore memory, identity, and femininity through a psychological lens.
