Information provided by the Artist: Juan Carlos Quintana (b.1964, Lutcher, LA) is a visual artist raised in New Orleans, LA, of Cuban lineage, currently living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using painting, printmaking, ceramics and mixed-media installation, Quintana’s art is imbued with an anti-colonial sensibility.

He has exhibited in galleries and museums nationally and internationally including Jack Fischer Gallery, John Berggruen Gallery, Galería de la Raza, San Jose Museum of Art, Crocker Art Museum, and Torrance Museum of Art, among others. He is the recipient of many awards and residencies, including the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculpture grant award.
