About the Artist:
Carolyn Castaño is a Los Angeles-based artist who uses eco-feminist frameworks in painting, installation, video, and artist books to explore the landscape, migration, plus female and family identities in works that juxtapose drawing, photography, performance with patterns found in textiles, design, and geometric abstraction. Castaño’s work is on exhibition this fall at Craft Contemporary, Los Angeles and has been featured at at Tucson Art Museum, Orange County Museum of Art, Loyola Marymount University’s Laband Art Gallery; Magazzino Di Sale, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and UCLA’s Hammer Museum. Castaño has had solo exhibitions with Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles; Kontainer Gallery, Los Angeles; and Lombard-Freid Gallery, New York. Castaño is a professor of Drawing and Painting at Long Beach City College. She received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1995 and an MFA from UCLA’s School of Art and Architecture in 2001.
