Cleo Stoutzker

On show a couple weeks back @greatorexstreet_e1 ‘Land before, land after’ 2024, 160 x 140cm

This week we’re introducing the work of @cleo_sttzkr . Cleo Stoutzker is a British artist based in London whose work moves between photography and painting. Drawing on personal photographic imagery, she repositions familiar figures within abstracted landscapes, creating spaces that feel both recognisable and slightly displaced. Her paintings explore ideas of memory, identity and place, reflecting on the shifting boundaries between past and present, here and elsewhere, self and other. Through a careful balance of form and negative space, Stoutzker’s works suggest landscapes shaped as much by perception and experience as by geography. Process sits at the centre of her practice, with each painting unfolding as a quiet enquiry into how we observe, interpret and construct meaning through images. #cleostputzker #blancogallery #curatoradelablanco #curatorialprojects #contemporaryart

Anatomy of a Map explores ‘mapping’ as a creative act that mediates, among other things, ideas of heritage, land, and the body. The exhibition brings together five interdisciplinary artists working across installation, film, painting, and textile, to draw the practice of mapping away from fixed systems of orientation and control, to a more personal and fluid framework. Here, they consider how environments impress themselves upon the body, forming new maps and identities across borders, and time.Anatomy of a Map explores ‘mapping’ as a creative act that mediates, among other things, ideas of heritage, land, and the body.
