Felipe Baeza is a painter and printmaker whose work, primarily focused on the intersection of fugitive bodies with natural environments, seeks to situate the individual within the social and historical context of cultural practices. Baeza’s Mexican heritage informs his work through metaphor, allowing him to transform memories and history and transport viewers through past experiences, both real and imagined. His recent exhibitions include Through the Flesh to Elsewhere, the Mistake Room, Los Angeles (2020); NXTHVN: First Year Fellows, Tilton Gallery, New York (2019–20); and Felipe Baeza, Maureen Paley, London (2018). He earned a BFA from Cooper Union, New York (2009), and an MFA from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (2018).
