Caroline Absher (b. 1994, North Carolina, USA) received a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute in 2016. Her work has been shown internationally. Solo exhibitions include Back to Oz, Fredericks & Freiser, New York, NY; Tennis Elbow, The Journal Gallery, New York, NY; and Earthbound, Makasiini Contemporary, Turku, Finland. Group exhibitions include Horizons, Sow & Tailor, Hong Kong; Women of Now, Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; 4 Artists, Fredericks & Freiser, New York, NY; Hospitality Suite, Mindy Solomon, Miami, FL; What Now?, AM/PM, London, UK; among others.
Absher’s oil paintings explore the figurative and the abstract, sometimes using herself as a subject, sometimes people close to her, and often with animals depicted in close proximity to humans. Surrounding landscapes and skyscapes often become psychedelic dream worlds. Her color palette alternates between vibrant and muted. More so than fast-drying acrylic or drawing, the medium of oil suits her as she paints quickly and often makes sudden decisions about where the painting is going.
In 2022, she served as artist-in-residence at the Macedonia Institute, NY.
She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
