Шаблон:Short description Carolyn Castaño (born 1971 in Los Angeles, CA), is an American visual artist. She is the recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painters and Sculptors (2013),[1] the California Community Foundation Getty Fellow Mid-Career Grant (2011),[2] and the City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Grant (2011).[3] She is an Assistant Professor, Drawing & Painting, at Long Beach City College.[4]
Castaño creates portraits utilizing painting (watercolor and acrylic), drawing and collage. Her portrait subjects are often adorned with glittery and ornate accessories, bold hairstyles, color, and patterns referencing the world of high fashion.[5][6][7] Some of her portraits feature a character named "Betty Ramirez," the artist's alter ego, with visual references to Mexican Golden Age cinema and Italian neorealism.[5] Other portraits are based on photographs that are then translated into painting. For example, her series of paintings titled "Hair Boys" is based on photographs of friends donning hairstyles from past decades and even centuries.[8]
