Carrie BencardinoCarrie Bencardino
Carrie Bencardino’s (1993, Buenos Aires) work engages with underground visual languages and the collective dynamics that animate countercultural spaces. Through painting, drawing, and performance, they construct meticulously elaborated scenes and charged narratives, exploring gestures, codes, and aesthetics that emerge from urban subcultures as social arenas where dissident forms of desire, belonging, and dissent are rehearsed and negotiated. Deliberate distortion and gesture are central to their practice, both conceptually and materially, allowing the images to remain unstable and porous.
Bencardino holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Universidad Nacional de las Artes and has received accolades such as a special mention at the Klemm Foundation Prize and the Regional Prize at the National Arts Fund Visual Arts Competition. They participated in the Artist Program at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. In addition to solo exhibitions like “El desentierro del diablo” (MALBA, 2025), “Un rayo de sol es mi peor enemigo” (Now Gallery, Lima, 2023) and “Nunca voy a olvidar lo mal que la pasé” (PIEDRAS, 2020), Bencardino has been part of group shows in various spaces such as the Centro Cultural Kirchner, La Casa del Bicentenario, the Centro Cultural Recoleta, and art fairs like arteBA, Liste Art Fair Basel, Expo Chicago, and NADA Miami. In 2023, they received the Oxenford Collection travel grant for a residency at Las Cicadas (Ibiza, Spain), and in 2024 and 2025, they was awarded the HITO grant.
