Pia Camil

Pia Camil (Mexico City, 1980) is a Mexican contemporary artist.[1] Camil works in painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Camil was raised in Mexico City. She earned a B.F.A. in 2003 from the Rhode Island School of Design and an M.F.A. in 2008 from the Slade School of Fine Art, in London.[2] Camil’s work is usually associated to the Mexican urban landscape, the aesthetic language of modernism and its relationship to retail and advertising. Recently she has engaged in public participation as a way to activate the work and engage with the politics of consumerism.[3]

Camil is represented by galleries Blum & Poe (New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo) and Galeria OMR (Mexico City) and Sultana Gallery (Paris).

Camil was included in the 2019 Desert X Biennial.
