Briana Babani

Briana Babani is an award-winning artist and designer currently living and working in New York’s Hudson Valley. She grew up in the Midwest, received her BA in painting from Yale University, and then lived and worked in New York City’s fashion district before earning her Masters Degree in Interior Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design.

The breadth of Babani’s work reflects a skill-set that spans multiple mediums and disciplines. At the heart of her practice is a preoccupation with process — of accumulation, of growth and decay, of construction. The resulting work is often characterized by the rigor inherent in any labor-intensive activity; repetitive gestures and motifs are a recurring theme. In contrast, and perhaps as an antidote, to the discipline of repetitive structure, Babani toys with color and whimsy, exploring dualities between graphic and textural, between the playful and the strange, and between the familiar and the unconventional.

Past stockists include ABC Carpet & Home and Barneys in New York City.
