WEEKENDER #25 - CARMEN SCHABRACQ

OCCULTARE PER MOSTRARE

CONCEAL TO REVEAL

Much of Carmen her work constantly reminds us that at every moment of our lives we do nothing else than wearing masks, even when we delude ourselves of the contrary. The game of the artist is to unmask the reality and expose the result to undermine the sense of personal identity and our certainties in life. Carmen does not neglect to also act reflexively questioning her own identity, a process that finds its fulfillment in her works.

Carmen Schabracq (1988), born and raised in Amsterdam. Carmen studied a year painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Rome before going to the Gerrit Rietveld Academy where she graduated in 2012 in Visual Arts. Later, she received her Masters of Art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in the discipline of theater and costume design.
