Tessa Perutz’s artworks function as psychological landscapes, touring the fields and valleys of the earth as well as the inner mind. Her works are a testimony to spontaneous exploration: pinpointed with anecdotes, hasty jottings and existential ponderings, Perutz’ oeuvre is shaped by processes of conceptualization and intuition, organically intertwining & informing one another. Paintings are echoed in others, mirroring seriality through repeated motifs and evocative use of colour.

A solo exhibition of Perutz’s work, How to Map the Infinite, took place at Casino Luxemburg in 2023.

Tessa Perutz was born in Chicago, USA in 1988. She now lives and works in New York, USA.
