Painter and engraver Carlos Irizarry was born in Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico, in 1938. He studied at the School of Art & Design in New York City. After his training in New York, he returned to the island in 1966, where he contributed much to the graphic arts movement that was flourishing then. His style then was influenced by abstract expressionism.
At the first Bienal de San Juan del Grabado Latinoamericano y del Caribe, celebrated in 1970, his work received honorable mention from a panel of international judges. In 1972, he was awarded first prize at the International Exhibition of the Protest Print in Vienna and was honored by "Sin Nombre" magazine in 1975. He was a teacher at Liga de Estudiantes de Arte, and co-founder and director of Centro Nacional de Las Artes en San Juan, PR. During the early 80's, he begins to explore more fully the concept of art as political movement. His work has been featured in numerous individual exhibitions in galleries and museums in New York and San Juan, including the Allan Rich Galleries, NY, Galeria 63, San Juan, Puerto Rico, San Juan Museum of Art, Puerto Rico, Ponce Museum of Art, Puerto Rico, Museum of Fine Arts, Puerto Rico, Museo Del Barrio, NY. He has also participated in collective shows at the Tibor De Nagy Gallery, NY, Hundred Acres Gallery, NY, Associated American Artists, NY, Harry N. Abrams Gallery, NY, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, the Museum of Modern Art, NY, and in Colombia, Brazil, Cuba and Yugoslavia. |
