Ilse Gradwohl

Ilse Gradwohl, one of Mexico's foremost abstract painters, is skilled at allowing colour and form to become a method of transference and communication between herself and the viewer.  Her complex, mood-filled canvases prompt imaginative projections on the part of her audience, with spaces of light and colour that conjure images of other realities and provoke affective responses. Ilse Gradwohl was born in Austria and educated in Visual Art at the University of Mexico.  Recent solo shows include Travesias and Shifting Landscapes at the Drexel Galeria, Garza Garcia in Monterrey, Mexico.  She has also been included in numerous solo and group shows at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, and the Museo De Arte Contemporaneo, in Merida, Yucatan.
