LUIS BAILEY is a Brazilian visual artist. He studied drawing and painting at the Paris Academy of Art (France, 2019). With a degree in industrial design from UniverCidade (Rio de Janeiro, 2010) in the same year, he received the Ford/New Design Talents National Award.

Bailey creates paintings in which human figuration has a lineage in Photographic Naturalism, and then admits explicit degrees of abstraction favorable to the behaviors of contemporary society. He is currently a member of the working group 'Antiformas de Intervenção' ― focusing on conceptuality and experimentalism ― under the guidance of David Cury, at EAV-Parque Lage. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he lives and works in Rio de Janeiro.
