Deric Carner’s work explores the fantastic and uncanny possibilities of expression within contemporary society. Using collage, painting, and sculpture, he creates new images and objects out of existing cultural material. Carner has lived in many different countries and social situations, which inspires him to look for divergent identity in existing objects and narratives.

Carner lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He received an M.F.A. at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam, NL, 2005; with a concurrent MA from the University of Plymouth, UK, 2005, and a B.F.A. in Studio Art from the University of California at Santa Cruz, 1998. He has participated in group and solo exhibitions including: “Repetition Island,” Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2010; “Range Rover,” Louis V.E.S.P., Brooklyn, 2010; “None of the Above,” Romer Young Gallery, San Francisco; “Hypnotic Show,” Artists Space, New York, 2009; and “BMW,” IX Baltic Triennial of International Art, CAC Vilnius, 2005.
