‘I will eat you alive’ is a work on the ambiguous primordial strength of the woman to breastfeed her child. An act of unconditional love which costs a lot of energy. Mother and child both eat each other alive.
Carmen Schabracq makes paintings, sculptural installations, work on paper, ceramics, tapestries, costumes and performance. The mask is a recurring object and theme in her work, with which she explores the multiplicity of layers of identity. She is often inspired by folklore and art history from different cultures and times. Her work is characterised by the pronounced use of colour, tactility, craftsmanship and a feminist aspect.

We have been dedicated to promoting emerging contemporary artists for over a decade, working with over 600 artists in more than 70 events. Our collaborations with these artists form the backbone of our platform, which aims to create connections, curate and promote the next generation of leading artists.

Working on a fair art market
Now
Since our foundation we have worked with over 600 artists in over 70 events, showcasing up- and coming artist. From this we have launched over 40 editions and many more to come! Since 2022 Unfair has invested in bridging the gap between the world of art fairs and new generations of art buyers and collectors. All proceeds flow back to our Artist Fund, with which we stimulate the development of emerging artists. With Unfair Editions, we produce and promote somewhere between 12 and 20 editions yearly, get while they are hot, and feel good about doing good at the same time!
