Artist-in-Residence
Carlos Vega
New York City-dwelling, Spanish-born sculptor Carlos Vega alters large-scale, malleable metal plates through engraving and deep cuts. Vibrant fields of oil paint, stamps and collaged material reveal themselves beneath the geometric patterns and designs that undulate across the surfaces of his carved lead panels, hinting at the traditional latticed screens found in his native Melilla, Spain.
Carlos now lives and works in New York City. Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City, a solo show, Apocrofos, at the Instituto de América (Centro Damián Bayón), Spain, and group exhibitions including Chelsea Visits Havana at the 9th Havana Biennial, Cuba; De Granada a Gasteiz Un Viaje de Ida y Vuelta, the Fundacion Artium, Alava, Spain; and Black Panther Rank and File, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, traveling to Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC.
