PERLA KRAUZE / SPRING 2025

In collaboration with Cadogan Gallery

born 1953 in Mexico City. Her first studies were Graphic Design at the National School of Plastic Arts of the National Autonomous University in Mexico. In 1977, she moved to London to obtain a textile diploma from Goldsmiths College and in 1992, she returned as a student of the Master of Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Arts.

Petrology, Topography and Geography are in conversation in most of her work, with the appearance of materials like lead, clay and water to stone. Using graphite frottages from stones and pavements and engraved volcanic rocks from El Pedregal, her paintings are abstract topographies and mappings. Stone is a fundamental material in her practice, linked to memory and durability, which can also be transformed and eroded.

In our own words

Working with Perla would be our first actual artist residency, although we had a lot of artists visiting our place for many years.
