Tessa Perutz
Tessa Perutz’s artworks function as psychological landscapes, touring the fields and valleys of the earth as well as the inner mind. Her works are a testimony to spontaneous exploration: pinpointed with anecdotes, hasty jottings and existential ponderings, Perutz’ oeuvre is shaped by processes of conceptualization and intuition, organically intertwining & informing one another. Paintings are echoed in others, mirroring seriality through repeated motifs and evocative use of color. Encapsulating a mixed materiality, botanicals such as sand, lavender, and hibiscus, are incorporated for healing and transformative properties. Her fully immersive exhibitions include installation and furniture, and through these enveloping environments she explores parallels between nature and humankind, referencing the depths of natural worlds and collective memory through direct sensorial cognition, opening up spaces to consider both personal and universal themes of connection and separation.
Tessa Perutz received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and now lives & works in New York. Her work has been included in exhibitions at The Drawing Center, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp; Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta; Magenta Plains, New York; Jack Hanley Gallery, New York; WOAW Gallery, Hong Kong; Basis, Frankfurt. Solo exhibitions include Baronian, Knokke; Baronian Xippas, Brussels; Stems Gallery, Brussels; 3-D Foundation, Verbier, CH. She was the artist-in-residence at Fondation CAB, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France in 2022. Baronian will present a solo booth of her work at Art Brussels, April 2023. Her first solo institutional exhibition opens in October 2023 at CASINO Luxembourg. Press includes features in Artforum, The Washington Post, Modern Painters, Artnet, Milk Magazine, La Libre, and Hart Magazine, among others.
