About the work

Angela De La Cruz studied philosophy at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain before moving to London where she earned a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College and an MA in Sculpture and Critical Theory from The Slade School of Art. Angela De La Cruz was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2010 and in 2017 was awarded the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas, Spain.

Inspired in equal parts by conceptual, painterly, and sculptural concerns within the greater discourse of the history of art, Angela De La Cruz subverts the conventions of paintings and extends the potential of this narrative form often by breaking the painting into new forms and structures. The Digital Yellow Doodle is a digital drawing cut and then fixed almost seamlessly to become a new version of itself.
