User:Priscila De Carvalho

Priscila De Carvalho (born 1975) is a Brazilian born and american citizen artist working with painting, site-specific and public art installations. She works and lives in New York City.

De Carvalho is well known for her installations and three dimensional works that combines various media including acrylic, vinyl, permanent marker, pencil, and photo collage. In her imagery, she creates fantastic worlds in which colors, forms and elements of fantasy all meld together. The work combines the influence of Pop Art, Spanish informalism, the monumentality of mural painting, and a reverence for architectural forms. With these varied sources, the artist overlays a complex variety of objects and shapes together, creating a frenetic, laden, urban landscape.

She is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner FoundationAward, Artist in the Market Place at Bronx Museum and Queens Council on the Arts Fund. She has been an artist-in-residence at Lower East Side Printshop, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Sculpture Space.

Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Socrates Sculpture Park, The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), The [S] Files/The Street Files, El Museo’s Sixth Bienal, Bronx Museum Biennial, The Jersey City Museum, Deutsche Bank and various other institutions.

Her work has been reviewed by the The New York Times, Art Aldia International, Art Nexus, The Huffington Post and many others.
