Galleria Raffaella Cortese is pleased to present the second solo show by Karla Black in Milan after the one in 2014. The Scottish artist will realize new sculptural works expressly conceived for the three exhibition spaces in via Stradella 1-4-7.

Black is regarded as one of the pioneering contemporary artists of her generation practicing a kind of lyrical autonomous sculpture, influenced by psychoanalysis and feminism in its impact on visual art.

Her works explore material and physical experience as a way of communicating and understanding the world around us. She is interested in ideas of play and early childhood learning as well as the raw creative moment when art comes into being. Black’s work draws from a multiplicity of artistic traditions from expressionist painting, land art, performance, to formalism.
