Bio & Resume
C Bangs is a Brooklyn based artist working across a range of media merging elements of science with art. Her work most notably investigates frontier science combined with symbolist figurative painting.
“The emotion I'd like to have people walk away with having viewed my work would have to do with a feeling of the incredible intricacy of life and being interested in exploring that and seeing it in many things other than paintings whatever is around them.”
