J. Carino

J. Carino’s captivating landscapes celebrate queer identity, weaving fluid, dreamlike scenes where serene meadows and towering peaks become sanctuaries for the human form. His paintings challenge heteronormative narratives of desire and intimacy, offering a vision of queerness as an intrinsic part of nature. Drawing from both personal experiences and idealized depictions of the body, Carino reimagines queerness within a harmonious, organic world.

J. Carino (b.1988, Littleton, Colorado) holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and has exhibited solo across the U.S. and Europe at PM/AM, Monya Rowe Gallery, Sow & Tailor, Monti8, A BLVE ROSE, and Auxier/Kline. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at James Cohan and Yossi Milo Gallery.
