Carla Brugo (Entre Ríos, Argentina)
She is an illustrator and object designer. During her residency, Carla developed her illustration project at María Colombo’s and Fátima Pecci’s ateliers. Her project consisted of a series of paintings of houses and apartment building’s facades she found during her recordings around the city. For her, facades tell a story of their own, in her search, Carla abstracts them from their urban context and locates in indeterminate spaces which inevitably arise comparisons with the ambiguous spaces of metaphysical painting. As closure of her residence, her work was shown alongside the works of local artists at Espacio MODOS in Palermo neighborhood.
