ABOUT/COMISSIONS/CURRENT EXHIBIT INFO - CAROLINE ZIMBALIST

Caroline Zimbalist is an artist and designer who hand creates one-of-a-kind pieces using nontraditional processes and techniques. She’s studied painting, illustrating, and sculpting since she was four and earned a BFA at Parsons studying fashion. She developed an enthusiasm for avant-garde design while furthering her schooling at Central Saint Martins, London. Always interested in making her own materials and pushing color boundaries, she started stripping abstract paintings off their frames and creating garments with the idea of draping bodies in different color palettes. For the past several years she has become proficient with bio-plastics and is creating clothing, jewelry, and sculptures with this relevant textile. She molds her unique recipe of biodegradable and natural materials into striking, three-dimensional forms not just for the ecological value of the technique but for the versatility it permits. Caroline also works as a CAD designer for a NYC based clothing company and owns three rescue dogs. Her art is sold in venues such as the Whitney Museum gift shop, 1st Dibs, Lovehouse, Kravet Curated, and Ssense.com.

Every vessel is meticulously fashioned using Caroline's self-created biomaterial recipe, resulting in a unique bio-plastic that boasts durability, translucency, lightweightness, and dynamic characteristics. Moreover, each piece is coated with a bio-epoxy resin, ensuring waterproofing and suitability for all weather conditions.

Her works have been featured in some of the most prominent magazines such as Vogue (Portugal), Elle (USA), WSJ, Curbed Magazine, Office Magazine,and Metal Mag. Garments and accessories have been dressed on celebrities including Laverne Cox, Julia Fox and in collaborations with well-recognized designers such as Elena Velez, Zoe Champion from PH5, The Injury, and many more.
