The  31-year old Mexico resident creates large wall compositions as well as small drawings, both precise and subtil, conceptual and metaphorical.  RITA PONCE DE LEÓN develops her work mostly by talking to people, and recording these conversations through the medium of drawing as if they were reports or notes. What’s interesting lies not only in the discussions and meanings but also in the question of how they are represented.

–
Good news: RITA PONCE DE LEÓN is currently presenting her first solo exhibition in Europe at Kunsthalle Basel for which she worked with Mexican architect PABLO PÉREZ PALACIOS to develop an exhibition concept that extends to architectural transformations of space as well as drawings.

➝ Endless openness produces circles is on view at Kunsthalle Basel until March 30, 2014
