Perla Krauze Kleinbort

Perla Krauze Kleinbort (born 1953, Mexico City) is a Mexican sculptor, painter and visual artist. She has a Masters in Visual Art from Chelsea College of Art, in London. Her work is important public collections such as the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo/ Museum of Contemporary Art in Oaxaca City, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil/ Carrillo Gil Art Museum, Museo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona.[1][2]

Work

Krauze works in diversity of mediums and materials including painting, sculpture and installation art. Her recent body of work has been leaning towards installations of painted planes and metal frames as in her Exhibition Huellas y Trayectos/ Traces and Trajectories at the Museo de Arte Moderno, 2010. Although early in her career she focused more in pictorial production, later in her career her art is fairly non-representational. Aesthetically Krauze draws heavily on minimalism moving from painting to three-dimensional forms. Erasure, memory, and silence are themes visible in her process playing construction against deconstruction.[3]
