Born 1984 in Miami, FL, USA and lives and works in New York, USA
Cristine Brache is a New York-based artist, writer, and filmmaker. She received her MFA in Fine Art Media from the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Brache is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores womanhood, trauma, and survival through personal and collective histories. Using encaustic painting, sculpture, and film, she examines constructs of the female body and psyche, obsolescence, persona, memory, and the inevitable power dynamics accompanying these themes. She addresses the institutionalisation of female pain, gaslighting, and the loss of meaning and time. Brache’s art reflects on mortality, solitude, nostalgia, and the psychological impact of historical erasure.
Select solo exhibitions include those held at anonymous gallery (New York); Locust Projects (Miami); and Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles). She has exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions like Berlinische Galerie, Perez Art Museum Miami, and ICA Miami. Her films have screened in festivals like the Florida Film Festival (Orlando); Miami Film Festival (Miami); and Slamdance (Park City). Her work has been critically reviewed in Artforum, The New York Times, and The New Yorker.
