Ángela de la Cruz

Ángela de la Cruz's work examines the language of painting and sculpture, challenging established norms and testing the limits between both media. Her work is related to the discourse of painting itself, focusing on its basic anatomy: the frame and the soft and flexible finish of the canvas. Through interventions, she manipulates and reconstructs the canvas, it's structure and fabrics appearing broken, fallen, collapsed, folded or wrinkled, and thereby expansing the registers of the flat surface of the canvas, giving it a new dimension.

Ángela de la Cruz_Concrete Canvas

During the work process of the Concrete Canvas photogravures, the artist turned the project around, deciding to manipulate the series into unique works of art using groups of prints from each edition. Two 4 mm perspex sheets on each side of a selected group of prints were used to frame and create a body of four pieces. The margins were manipulated and partially folded by hand. The prints were drilled to allow headless screws to pass through both perspex sheets and paper. In this way, the artist simultaneously reveals and hides the work, transforming all information available into installation or sculpture: What is not shown conditions and resonates the visible.
