Priscila De Carvalho (born 1975) is a Brazilian-born American contemporary artist who is known for paintings, sculptures, murals, site-specific art installations, and permanent public art.

Early life and career

[edit]

De Carvalho was born in Curitiba, Brazil in 1975.[citation needed] At the age of nine years old, she started composing small photo-realistic drawings influenced by cartoons, comics[1] and fashion magazines. De Carvalho moved to San Francisco, California in the 1990s.[citation needed]

She has traveled extensively and lived in different cities including Tokyo, Berlin, and New York City, where she has been active as an artist since 2004. During this time, De Carvalho has been engaged in her studio practice and involved in several exhibitions throughout the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Among many professional accomplishments are her Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award,[2] Sculpture Space residency,[3] Aljira Emerge 10 fellowship,[4] Lower East Side Printshop exhibit,[5] the Bronx Museum of the Arts' Artist in the Marketplace,[6] and Workspace Artist residency at the Jamaica Center for the Arts and Learning Gallery.[7] She made her first solo exhibition debut with Passageways in the Jersey City Museum, opening March 19, 2009.

A recurring theme in De Carvalho's work is the passage of time and its effect on cultures. She compares the environment and human civilization in a way to make viewers question their relationship with both and thus, define what they expect from their culture and themselves. De Carvalho mixes influences of Pop Art and Spanish Informalism to create works that draw attention to the strange beauty of unbridled urbanization and pay reverence to architecture as an art form.[8] Her installation art and murals [9] often include paintings [10] with augmented surfaces, which encourage the spectator to engage with the art as a three-dimensional subject, sometimes by expanding the images into interactive landscapes.

De Carvalho's work has been exhibited by the Brooklyn Bridge Park (New York, USA),[11] The Bronx Museum of the Arts (New York, USA),[12] Socrates Sculpture Park (New York, USA),[13] the Basque Museum-Center of Contemporary Art (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain),[14] Deutsche Bank (New York, USA),[15] the Grand Palais (Paris, France),[16] the Nepal Art Council in (Kathmandu, Nepal),[17] The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (New York, USA),[18] and The Jersey City Museum (Jersey City, USA).[19] She was also a celebrated participant in El Museo's Sixth Biennial in New York City,[20] The First AIM Biennial at The Bronx Museum of the Arts,[21] and The Kathmandu International Triennial in Nepal,[22] where she represented her native nation of Brazil.

She has been commissioned for large-scale permanent public art projects by the MTA Arts & Design[23] and the department of education in New York. In collaboration with School Construction Authority,[24] in 2019 De Carvalho began creating permanent public artwork for the SBS Woodhaven median stations commissioned by New York City's department of cultural affairs’ "Percent for Arts Program"[25] as well as her largest and most ambitious sculptural work to date for the Valley Metro Rail System in Phoenix, Arizona.[26]
