BIO - Carrie Bencardino
Carrie Bencardino was born in 1993 in Buenos Aires. Her painting starts from a personal narrative to condense a broader one about parties, ranging from queer parties to the underground metal scene of Buenos Aires. She speaks in the first person to refer to the nightlife she inhabits.
In her performances, she involves other people in the development of the work, recreating instances of collective agitation and condensing the nature of the environments she paints into simple gestures.
She studied painting at the National University of the Arts and participated in residencies, workshops, and many national awards. Besides Argentina, she has exhibited her works in Chicago, Mexico, and Miami.
EXHIBITION NEGRO
The Black exhibition emerges from the stabilizing forces of silence and repose, contemplation and meditation.
Black is not a void of color but the opposite, the sum of all the colors. It is also imagined as the transmutation of color in the absence of light.
Black is the persistence of time, the erosion of life emerging at every instant, the beginning of everything and the end.
It is our utter reverence to this value, state of consciousness.
The perfect visual balance to the apotheosis of color
