Art Brussels 2025: Angela de la Cruz

For this year’s edition of Art Brussels, Galerie Thomas Schulte is presenting a curated selection of works by acclaimed Spanish artist Angela de la Cruz, whose practice continues to push the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Based in London, de la Cruz has garnered international recognition for ther bold, visceral approach to the traditional canvas—cutting, folding, and reassembling oil paintings into powerful wall-based sculptural forms. Her recent acquisition by the prestigious Museo Reina Sofía marks a significant milestone in a career defined by fearless experimentation and conceptual rigor.
The presentation is part of a collaborative booth shared with Madrid-based gallery 1MIRAMADRID, which will be showcasing works by renowned Spanish artist Teresa Lanceta. Known for her deep engagement with weaving and textile traditions, Lanceta explores cultural memory, repetition, and the language of materials in her work. Her singular voice has earned widespread acclaim, and in 2026, she will be the subject of a major retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This joint presentation brings together two groundbreaking female artists—both Spanish, both internationally celebrated, and both redefining the possibilities of materiality in art. While de la Cruz engages with oil on canvas, manipulating its physical form into sculptural paintings, Lanceta employs weaving as both medium and method, using fabric to convey stories and social histories.
Despite their different techniques, both artists investigate themes of construction and reconstruction, each offering a powerful, tactile exploration of form, space, and meaning.
