A selection of works : Artists of the gallery

February 4 - March 22, 2026

Overview

Alongside Vanessa Raw’s solo presentation, Georgina Pounds Gallery will open with a group exhibition co-curated by Constantin Nakov. Engaging historical traditions reawakened by Mexican influence, the exhibition brings together drawing, painting and sculpture by artists who lived in or were influenced by Mexico over the past century. For many of these artists, Mexico has offered a rare sense of freedom, allowing forms and ideas to be loosened and transformed. Rather than positioning Surrealism as a closed historical movement, the exhibition treats it as a living method - one that continues to offer artists within the gallery’s programme a language.

Sofía Bassi’s paintings, first produced in Acapulco during her imprisonment, resonate powerfully with the tension between confinement and inner freedom, revealing magical and otherworldly imaginations. For Tali Lennox, Mexico has quietly expanded these narratives, unconsciously opening a deeper sense of the ancestral and elemental. Lennox has been particularly drawn to ceremonies, traditions, and the layered symbolism of altars and ritual spaces. In her jewel-like paintings, these presences linger at the threshold between life and afterlife, refracted through ancient cultures and transcendent states of consciousness, somewhere between moonlight and shadow.

The gallery is establishing itself in a neo-classical building in Roma Norte; furniture by ATRA Collective sits alongside carefully selected books by La Joplin. Additionally, SendB00ks presents two artist books: The Debutante and Other Stories by Leonora Carrington, with a special cover by Lennox, and A Wizard of Earthsea, with a cover by Luostarinen.
