Biography

Grace Carney (b. 1992) is an American painter born in Minnesota. She received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2014 and her MFA in Painting from the New York Studio School in 2022. Working over months and sometimes years on each canvas, she builds dense, layered abstractions that draw on Baroque and Renaissance painting, literature, daily life, and her own body. Her work is in the collections of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Aïshti Foundation, Lebanon; Pond Society, Shanghai; and the Scharpff-Striebich Collection, Berlin. Solo exhibitions include Wrestle at Beacon Gallery, Munich; girlgirlgirl and To the Bone at P·P·O·W, New York; and Subrisio Saltat at Kiang Malingue, Hong Kong.
