Cristina BanBan
Painter of large-scale, voluptuous figures exploring identity and intimacy through gestural brushwork and expressive color.
Cristina BanBan paints the female form at full volume — figures that sprawl, overlap, and press against the canvas edge in fleshy hues and exaggerated proportions. The work draws from modernist European figuration but moves with gestural energy, all rapid brushstrokes and layered color.
She works large, building compositions that feel both intimate and expansive, where bodies emerge and withdraw through fields of texture and motion. The subject is consistent: women, their physicality, their emotional weight.
Born in Barcelona, now based in Brooklyn, BanBan exhibits internationally with Perrotin. The studio practice remains centered on paint, canvas, and the figure.
