About Trisha Baga
Trisha Baga (b. 1985, Venice) lives and works in New York. A self-professed “hoarder of images,” Trisha Baga’s practice is compelled by an interest in what they call, “the stuff that fills the gaps.” Baga has built a reputation for work that gleans the margins of the digital and the logic of online browsing to create dreamy, layered narratives—an approach that, in addition to their multi-media and performative work, has secured their position as a significant voice in contemporary painting. Baga’s paintings draw upon diverse imagery culled from personal photographs, music videos, karaoke screens, and their own films to create uncanny spaces that meld our on- and off-screen lives. Baga doesn’t attempt to resolve the varying formal and associative registers of their artistic practice—the elements in their paintings don’t adhere to another seamlessly, and instead clump together like a mutually-imbricated life form held together by a sticky, viscous goo.
