Angela de la Cruz Exhibition at Ikon Gallery Features Damaged Artworks Symbolizing Perseverance

Spanish artist Angela de la Cruz is presenting a solo exhibition at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, marking her first UK solo show outside London. The exhibition features artworks that appear broken or damaged, including folded canvases and sculptures made from repurposed objects. De la Cruz, who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2010 and is based in London, creates work that reflects themes of resilience, particularly following a stroke she experienced. The show includes pieces such as a black-painted canvas wrapped around a two-legged table and a damaged painting repaired with tape. The exhibition highlights her exploration of objects that continue to function despite their compromised states.
