Angela de la Cruz

Angela de la Cruz, Compressed (red), 2011

Turner Prize nominee Angela de la Cruz will present her first solo exhibition in Australia since 2005 at Anna Schwartz Gallery in Melbourne from 2 February until 3 March 2012.

De la Cruz's work defies categorisation, corrupting the distinction between painting and sculpture, with works that are at once objects and images. The Spanish born artist moved to London in 1987 where she currently resides.  The exhibition includes deconstructed canvases, found furniture and aluminium forms whose proportions allude to the human figure.
