Cristóbal Cea is a Chilean artist that works across a variety of mediums, from 3D animation to sculpture and drawing. A determination to inhabit the mediated distance that separates us from complex social, political, and historical events are a constant component of his practice, which has been part of group shows in spaces like Lunds Konsthall (Sweden), Alcalá 31 (Spain), National Museum of Fine Arts (Chile), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Denmark) and several solo exhibitions at museums and galleries in Chile and elsewhere. He has been awarded the Fulbright Grant, the RISD Bridge Research Grant, the National Endowment for The Arts (Chile, 2010-2016-2019), the Museum of Visual Arts (MAVI) Contemporary Art Prize, the CCU Art Prize and several research and creation grants at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Tufts University.
