Descripción del Artista

Cristina BanBan (b. 1987, Barcelona) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her painting and drawing practice explores the form of the human body, pushing boundaries of proportions with the depiction of voluptuous feminine figures. Reminiscent of 18th century neoclassical paintings and influenced by anime, expressionist aesthetics, pop culture and lived experience, BanBan’s works empower their feminine protagonists by making them feel monumental whether contained in a large canvas or a small work on paper. Harmoniously mixing the real and the imaginary, BanBan creates intimate everyday scenes that speak to the social expectations, norms and societal values surrounding femininity and millennial life in the tech era. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and is represented by 1969 Gallery, New York, where she has had three solo exhibitions: 24-hour booth (January 2019), Tigre y Paloma (May 2020) and Del Llanto (May 2021), a two-part solo exhibition at 1969 Gallery and albertz benda, New York. She will also have a solo exhibition at Perrotin, Shanghai. China (solo exhibition). Recent group exhibitions include This is America, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Germany (2021); Hybrids, CFHILL, Sweden (2021); Auguries of Innocence, Fredericks & Freiser, New York (2020); Black & White vs. Color, Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles (2020); Body in Motion/Travelling Bodies, Stems Gallery, Brussels (2020); Monster/Beauty: An Exploration of the Female/Femme Gaze, Lychee One, London (2020); WOAW Gallery x Case Studyo Presents Cristina BanBan, WOAW Gallery, Hong Kong (2020); Extra, The Hole, New York (2019).
