Visiting Artist: Felipe Baeza
2023-10-09 - 2023-10-23
Felipe Baeza is a visual artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Baeza’s practice is equal parts confrontation of violent pasts and a tribute to people whose sense of personhood is constantly litigated and defined by those in power. His “fugitive bodies” created over densely layered paintings appear in different states of becoming and at times are even abstracted to the point of invisibility. Baeza’s recent exhibitions include The Milk of Dreams, 59th Venice Biennale, Venice (2022); Made Into Being, Fortnight Institute, New York (2022); Prospect 5. New Orleans: Yesterday We Said Tomorrow, New Orleans (2021); Unruly Suspension, Maureen Paley, London (2021); and Through the Flesh to Elsewhere, the Mistake Room, Los Angeles (2020). Baeza received a BFA from the Cooper Union and an MFA from Yale University.
