ARTIST BIO: Vicky Barranguet is a painter born in Montevideo, Uruguay
that currently lives and works in New York. Vicky has participated in many
exhibitions nationally and internationally and her paintings have also been
acquired by various private collections. Her work is embodied by an
empirical investigation of the pictorial structure, where processes departing
from spontaneous gestures evolve into elaborate and complex systems where
improvisation, organization of form and space, and attention to detail are at
its core. She created in 2005 the show: Painting Music, a live painting - music
show, touring since then through out the world, with original music,
nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards, by her partner Gustavo Casenave
and participation of Jane Ira Bloom y Federico Britos, Grammy award
winners. In 2006, she created a special collection of hand painted dresses,
presenting them in Uruguay’s Fashion Week '06, '07 & '08, collaborating
with different designers. In 2010 she was the featured artist for Jodi Arnold’s
2010 collection in New York City, featured in the New York Times. She
exhibits a new fresh style of painting revealing a unique voice of complexities
that challenges vision and the experience of painting. Her career developed
over many years in Uruguay and in United States where she has studied in
the recent years with painters such as Larry Poons and William Scharf, and
Clever Lara in Uruguay. Barranguet’s work has also been commissioned by
Nike, Adidas and Long Champs just to mention a few. Vicky Barranguet
brings us a collection of amazing works and visions.
