A Brazilian multidisciplinary artist, Tarik Mendes (b. 1992) works across painting, mixed media, installation, and sculpture. His practice explores connection, repetition, transparency, movement, and the ways an artwork can change through light and perspective.
Alongside his studio practice, Mendes is the founder and host of Tarik Talk, an art and culture podcast dedicated to conversations with artists, curators, gallerists, cultural leaders, entrepreneurs, and other creative voices.
The Hoboken Girl feature highlighted the relationship between Mendes’ artistic practice and his interest in creating conversations around art and community.
