Smooth appearances, deceptive sweetness: Bianca Argimón’s works occupy that tipping point where beauty wavers and quietly exposes the madness of our time.
— Antoine Py & Camille Frasca
Bianca Argimón is a Franco-Spanish artist born in Brussels in 1988. She graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, earning highest honors in 2015. She also studied for a semester at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
Bianca Argimón develops her practice through drawing, sculpture, and installation, forging a style where irony meets the absurd. She employs anthropomorphic figures and seemingly naïve imagery to trap the viewer’s gaze: this formal seduction acts as a Trojan horse, enabling the introduction of sharp social critique on power or technology. The artist depicts a society on the brink of collapse, marked by constant obsolescence and an anxiety-inducing acceleration. She highlights the violent paradox of this transitional era: a world in crisis, yet obsessed with playfulness, instant gratification, and a pursuit of happiness with blurred contours.
Her work has been exhibited in several institutions, including the Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2018, the Fondation EDF in Paris in 2022, the MAC VAL in Vitry-sur-Seine in 2023, and most recently at the Frac Sud in Marseille in 2024. She has also participated in several residencies, notably at the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès in 2017, the Casa de Velázquez in 2020–2021, and the ISCP – Fondation Salomon in New York in 2024.
