Carlos Bunga (Oporto, Portugal, 1976 ) is an artist known for his architectural site-specific installations which alter already existing spaces, built out of mass-produced materials, like cardboard, duct tape, home paint and glue. Through them, he questions architecture as a language of power and other inertias related to it, like order and solidity, and makes the epic and the everyday collide.

He creates works that explain the process of his own creation in various formats: sculptures, paintings, drawings, performances, video and installations. He approaches art as a constantly evolving act, that is open to change and transformation.

Although he often uses humble, everyday materials, Bunga's pieces involves a highly developed aesthetic sense and sensibility, characterized by an in-depth study of color and materiality. Straddling the divide between sculpture and painting, Bunga's works are deceptively delicate and yet utterly commanding in their spatial and perceptual presence.

Beyond their materiality, they possess a conceptual complexity derived from the interrelationships of opposites –between doing and undoing, making and disassembling, investigation and conclusion, imagination and memory– while at the same time emphasizing the performative aspect, and therefore temporal one, of the creative act and of the resulting artistic object.

He lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
