About the Exhibition

Through her innovative, experimental, and precise approach, Ángela de la Cruz (A Coruña, 1965), winner of the National Prize for Visual Arts (2017) and Turner Prize finalist (2010), has opened paths that many contemporary artists continue to explore. Her work is represented in public and private collections worldwide, and this exhibition features a selection from Spanish collections.

Stuck, the title of the exhibition, is more than a name—it is a statement of intent. Ángela de la Cruz’s works push painting to its limits, transforming it into object, sculpture, installation, and confrontation. Her deformed canvases and crushed stretcher frames create art that is intense, overwhelming, visceral, and yet beautiful, challenging conventional expectations.

The process of destruction and transformation is not merely formal but also conceptual: it questions traditional painting and artistic hierarchies, exploring the balance between fragility and strength, beauty and the uncanny.
