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 AURA
AURA develops narratives that we believe in, from color, shape, frequency, and the spiritual and intangible. The way we live, what we wear, and who we are in every choice.
When we think about creation and manifestation, Hilma af Klint is our reference. A radical painter and precursor of abstract and spiritualist painting, she created her first abstract paintings in 1906, before Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich. According to her wishes, her work would only be exhibited twenty years after her death, in line with her conviction that the world was not ready to comprehend her art.
Musicality is in our nature and movement defines us, it is part of who we are. Music has always been and will always be present in providing that connection to the deepest part of this collective network and in a kind of synesthetic metaphor that we create with movement, color. If any animal symbolizes this collection, it is the hummingbird. Its plumage reflecting the sun, wings fluttering so fast that they hum at a universal frequency, the hummingbird is sacred in many cultures. It is a messenger of the gods, of men and of the afterlife
