Basil Kincaid (born in 1986, St. Louis, Missouri) is a post-disciplinary artist whose research constructs, contemplates and reviews self-imposed and conditioned constructs and explores their fixity. Through the quilting technique, collage, installation and performance, created using salvaged or donated materials, Kincaid abandons social mores to draft alternative cultural fabrics. Kincaid studied drawing and painting at Colorado College, graduating in 2010. He has exhibited with the Kavi Gupta Gallery, Mindy Solomon, Kravets Wehby and Carl Kostyal and elsewhere. In 2019, Kincaid debuted with his first institutionally-commissioned work, the performance "The Release" at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation of St. Louis MO. Kincaid is part of the JP Morgan permanent art collection and in 2020 he received the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis and in 2021 he was selected for United States Artists Fellowship and his work entered the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
