Susanna Inglada, winner of the Drawing Now 2025 Prize
Curated by Giuliana Benassi
The exhibition All Parts Of Us by Susanna Inglada brings together the artist’s most recent body of work, offering an immersive journey in which drawing extends into the three dimensional, transforming space into an expressive stage of contemporaneity. Fragmentation, already essential in the title, is not only a compositional technique of collage, but also a key to unveiling an image of existence in which every fragment takes shape as part of a shared, collective whole.
Inglada's works function as a reactive mirror of the state of the world, capable of capturing the emotions and traumas of the pInglada’s works act as a reactive mirror of the state of the world, capable of capturing the emotions and traumas of the present moment, a quality also rooted in her theatrical background. The artist works like a director, guiding the viewer through installations such as Forest :a forest of looming hands forming a dramatic metaphor of unity and conflict—and Ojos Cerrados (Closed Eyes), a collage of figures with their eyes closed that embodies the archetype of those who look away or are unable to face conflict. These figures with their eyes shut serve as a powerful warning and a call for collective awakening.
The works on paper, ceramics, and the animated video that reinterprets the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, are imbued with references to great painting traditions (from Goya to Paula Rego) from which the artist draws strength and critical insight to address themes such as the male gaze and power dynamics. A subtle sense of humor stitches the works together, acting as an antidote to the sharp questions of existence.
The exhibition invites the viewer to activate the work and to take on the role of an active protagonist in a collective play that requires open eyes and awareness, to recompose into a single multitude, where all the parts are us.
