Aineki Traverso (b. 1991) is a painter based in Atlanta and a current resident in the Studio Artist Program at Atlanta Contemporary. She uses the rhetoric of painting to find ways of reconciling a world and society that exist in a state of post-environmentalism, borne of climate change and advancing technology. Her work has most recently been exhibited in spaces such as Swan Coach House Gallery, Johnson Lowe, and Whitespace Gallery. Aineki has attended residencies at R&F Handmade Paints, Vermont Studio Center, Hambidge Center for Creative Arts, and VCCA. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2013 with a concentration in film theory.
Aineki is a recent grant recipient of the Edge Award from the Forward Arts Foundation, the Susan Antinori Visual Artist Grant from Idea Capital, and the Nexus Fund.
