Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce participation in the 2023 edition of Enter Art Fair, hosting a solo booth of artworks by Andreas Diaz Andersson. Diaz Andersson is a Swedish-Mexican artist known for his distinctly meticulous minimalist abstractions. When viewed from afar, Diaz Andersson’s carefully considered compositions may look simple, but the complexity of his works becomes clearer upon close inspection.
His work, created using cotton embroidery on canvas, is defined as much by the harmonious use of shapes and line as the spaces left in between these. It is this exploration of negative space that lends his works such a unique quality and sensation, allowing the composition to take shape and challenge the viewer’s perceptions. Made with exceptional precision and a meticulous attention to detail, the works are an exploration of depth and form, hovering between illusion and abstraction. By playing with different colours and textures arranged systematically his works attain a spatially reflective quality. The physical, spatial and conceptual depth of the canvas fluctuates based on where the viewer stands, creating a constant variation of dynamic geometric patterns and deep vanishing points.
Diaz Andersson’s upbringing in both Sweden and Mexico is evident in his work. Scandinavian order in his meticulous technique, is combined with a Mexican sense of warmth in the colours and materiality of his works. Both countries have a strong tradition of textile art, but it is the synthesis between two very different cultures that Diaz Andersson so successfully expresses in his works, creating paintings that are both unique and universal.
Cadogan has represented Andreas Diaz Andersson since 2021 and his presentation at Enter will follow his highly successful solo show with the gallery in 2022. In 2023 Diaz Andersson intends to return to Europe, working from studios in Italy and Sweden.
