Opening
06.02.2025
DS Galerie is delighted to be taking part in Material for the second year running, and to be presenting a group show on the theme of the garden, at once a personal journey, and a political reflection at the crossroads of contemporary struggles, whether in queer or decolonial thought, bringing together Latin American artists and European artists with whom the gallery collaborates in Paris. The exhibition includes works by Bayo Álvaro, Andrés Barón, Luis Figueroa, Cecilia Granara, Mar Pérez, Hatice Pinarbasi, Enea Toldo and Xolo Cuintle.
In parallel with the fair, the gallery is organising studio visits to find out more about the practice of Mexico City-based artists involved in the curatorial proposal.

Cecilia Granara (1991, Saudi Arabia) was born in Italy and grew up in Mexico City, Rome and Chicago. Her painting is inspired by autofiction, poetry and symbolic iconography. She is interested in cultural attitudes towards the body, spirituality and nature, and in the use of colour as a vehicle for emotion. She studied at Central St. Martin’s School of Art and Design in London and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, as well as at Hunter College in New York. Her work has been the subject of numerous solo, group and institutional exhibitions in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States and Mexico.More info

Luis Figueroa (1993, Venezuela) is a graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL). His work develops a dialectic between being and space, exploring the construction of scenarios in which various artistic and cultural currents converge.
Through rigorous research into colour, her pieces integrate a plurality of contexts, reconciling subjective aesthetic experiences while evoking the autonomy and spirit of an imagined ‘place’. Her career has included solo and group exhibitions in Mexico City, Halifax, Santiago de Chile, Monterrey and New York.More info
