Caroline Kent

Caroline Kent is a Chicago-based visual artist whose work challenges traditions of abstract painting, drawing from her rich Mexican heritage and focusing on the intricacies of language and translation. Developed through an ongoing archive of works on paper, Kent’s paintings use acts of material translation to exist in the multiple forms of drawings, paintings, sculpture and performance. 

Kent received an MFA from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN and a BA from Illinois State University in Normal, IL. Select solo exhibitions include: Caroline Kent (2025), Art in Embassies Program, Mexico City, Mexico; A short play about watching shadows move across the room (2023) Queens Museum, Queens, NY; This space for correspondence (2023), Casey Kaplan Gallery, New York, NY; An Improvisation of Form (2022), Figge Art Museum, Davenport, IA; Space | Shadow | Script (2022), PATRON, Chicago, IL; and XYZ: Alphabetical Ruptures and Reformations (2022), Kinosaito, Verplanck, NY.
