Bio

Christina Lucia Giuffrida (b. 1990, Sydney, AUS)  is an Queer Australian artist, who currently lives in Brooklyn (NYC) with her wife Sophia and their dog Vito.  The longer that Giuffrida lives outside of Australia, the more tenuous the thread connecting her to home feels. Painting this Australian inspired world from imagination, memory and personal photographs  has become a way to both maintain and galvanize her relationship to home from the other side of the world. The community of lavender women that populate this landscape have become Giuffrida's proxies, living out the cinematic outdoor adventures in her stead.  Now that the stage is set, we witness an emergence of an auto-fiction about geographical and cultural longing that collides with a queer, nostalgic, retro- futurism.  

 

Giuffrida has most recently exhibited with Rhodes Contemporary (UK), Taymour Grahne (London), SoHo Revue, (UK), Eve Leibe Gallery (UK), The Prior Art Space (Berlin), Steven Zevitas Gallery (MA) and Collar Works (NY).  Her works having been featured in Front Runner Magazine, Create Magazine, Peripheries and Journal of the Harvard Divinity School. Christina earned her BVA from the Sydney College of the Arts and her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She is a recipient of the Art Start Grant from the Australia Council and Emerging Artist Grant from the Ian Potter Foundation and has participated in residencies in Italy, USA and the Dominican Republic. Christina's works are part of the MACAAL Collection (Marrakesh, Morocco), the Beth Rudin DeWoody collection (NYC) and the X Museum Collection (Beijing, China).
