Bio
Lybi Cucurullo is a conceptual artist, largely influenced by her background in mathematics. She uses a wide range of different media to address the overarching concept of time and cycles in nature.
Cucurullo received her Bachelors in Science from the University of Central Florida in 2011, and her Masters in Fine Arts from CUNY Brooklyn college in 2019.
She was awarded the Wolff Ravenal travel grant in the Spring of 2019 to pursue research in Utah and was an artist in residence at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild in Woodstock, NY in the summer of 2019, and A.I.R. Studio in Paducah, Kentucky in the winter of 2019 and again in 2022. She has shown in numerous group shows in Brooklyn, Athens, Norfolk, Paducah, and throughout the Hudson Valley, and taught courses at Brooklyn College under fellowship. She is currently the adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Brenau University and Georgia Military College.
“I am a conceptual artist who works with a wide range of different media – including painting, drawing, installation, photography, video, and mixed media – all to address concepts of cycles in nature. Within these seemingly predictable cycles, often lie uncertainty and chaos. To communicate the relationship and balance between what is constant and what is unpredictable, I use abstracted, natural imagery. Abstracted landscapes provide a comfort in recognition, while simultaneously stirring up discomfort in that which cannot be recognized or understood. My work strives to invite viewers to enter a liminal space, to oscillate between knowing and unknowing, and to recognize that we are intrinsically a part of the ebb and flow of nature – and that in that knowing – there is comfort.”
