Marc Badia

Marc Badia (1984, Barcelona) holds a degree in Fine Arts and a master’s degree in Artistic Production and Research from the University of Barcelona. He was an exchange student at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (HFBK). His artistic practice focuses on painting and installation, with compositions that merge the classical, the contemporary, and speculative fiction through the lens of absurdity. This juxtaposition of references creates a meticulous collage that operates as an archaeology of fictions. His practice is characterized by a playful yet critical approach to image-making, constantly questioning the boundaries between fiction, memory, and representation. He has exhibited in institutions and fairs such as the Centro del Carmen (Valencia), the Arranz Bravo Foundation (Barcelona), ARCO Madrid, ARCO Lisboa, Untitled Art Fair (Miami), Lorin Gallery (Los Angeles), JPS Gallery (Paris), Expositivo Mad (Madrid), and Fran Reus Gallery (Mallorca), among others. He has undertaken residencies at The Free University of Tbilisi (Georgia), DE Kaaij Festival (Nijmegen, Netherlands), EAN (Galicia), Major 28 (Lleida), L21 (Mallorca), and Enlace (Lima).
