Angela de la Cruz @ Lisson Gallery

Turner Prize nominee Angela de la Cruz presents a new body of work in this her first exhibition in London since 2011. While embracing a minimalist approach in terms of monochromatic colour and subject matter, Cruz’s paintings convey a host of human emotions. Titled ‘Bare,’ her exhibition represents de la Cruz’s relationship with the physical body and displays an emotional incongruity between fragility and strength, the broken and the beautiful, in conjunction with the artist’s continued exploration of the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Her striking interventions with canvas and stretcher portray a sense of performative playfulness, although for this exhibition she works with different materials, including aluminium and cement.
