Carrie Bencardino (1993, Buenos Aires) builds narratives rooted in their interest in the visual discourses of the underground throughout history and collective  counterculture spaces. The notion of fluidity is a constant element in their work, evident in both their non-binary identity and the way they manipulate pictorial materials, escaping from defined details, with a light material load and gestural strokes. Their art presents an autobiographical perspective, challenging viewers to reflect on the role of agitation in contemporary existence.

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 “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, they was awarded the HITO grant.
