Carolina Aguirre (b. 1990, Santiago, Chile) is an Argentinian-British artist based in London.
Her artistic practice spans a wide range of media, including film, sculpture, installation, and painting. She examines the interconnectedness of the human body, its multifaceted identities, and its correlations with surrounding landscapes and temporal dimensions.
Aguirre’s works develop through an investigative process, where layers and nuances emerge gradually, shaping a narrative embedded in complex webs of meaning. These narratives do not adhere to linear or strictly rational structures, but instead bring alternative ways of belonging into being. Grounded by natural materials, such as sumi ink, charcoal, calcium, and shellac, the works evoke geographical and geological formations, where body parts and narrative clues emerge and dissolve. Through an autoethnographic lens, the entanglement of the human and natural world unfolds, revealing a myriad of expressions of belonging and generational memories of migration. The resulting landscapes resemble aerial views from a flight home, land extensively browsed on google maps, or cross sections of strata.
Working on the floor, Aguirre engages in a process evocative of both archaeology and gardening. She carefully shifts and layers materials until rhythms, patterns, and figures emerge and autonomous connections are woven. The resulting compositions blur the line between the physical and the metaphorical. They play with fluidity and kinship while opening up space for personal explorations of the intricate web meaning.
Aguirre studied at the Royal College of Art in London, where she completed her MA in Painting in 2023 with the support of the Ali H. Alkazzi scholarship award. She previously earned a BA in Graphic Design with a focus on Moving Image from Central Saint Martins, London in 2013, and a Foundation in Art and Design in 2011. She participated in the 2022 exchange program between the Royal College of Art and Kyoto City University of the Arts and completed a residency at the Cyprus College of Art in the same year.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, among others at The Mill, Lismore Castle Arts in Ireland (2024), at Thaddaeus Ropac London (2024), Beacons in Munich (2023), and at KCUA Gallery in Kyoto (2022), Ruttkowski;68 in Paris (2024) and currently at Ruttkowski;68 in Düsseldorf (Body Takes 2025/11/01 – 2025/12/21)
