Daphne Arthur

Daphne Arthur (b. 1984, Caracas, Venezuela) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work mobilizes unconventional materials and processes to transform the ephemeral into something concrete. Fluctuating between the experimental and methodical, she combines painting, sculpture, and drawing with smoke, paint, and clay to compose realist and surrealist scenes that investigate individual and collective history, language, symbolism, and memory. She is the recipient of the Anne Critz Fellowship, The Ald Held Fellowship at the American Academy of Rome, The Alma B. C. Schapiro Residency, the Vermont Studio Center’s Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship and The NYFA Queens Art Fund: New Work Grant. Arthur is currently based in New York, where she also teaches at York College, Brooklyn College, and Columbia University.
