Jerónimo Rüedi (b. 1981 Mendoza, Argentina) lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.
Jerónimo Rüedi builds depth and surface on canvas and panel to create immersive visual spaces. Smudges hover above like scratches on a lens, while scribbled forms emerge from deep within. These layered gestures generate distortions that fracture perception and produce cognitive schisms on the visual plane.
Using wax, resins and airbrush, Rüedi draws and conjures shapes as if from smoke. Multiple dimensions appear compressed onto a single surface, forming a kind of quark soup. Clusters of half-articulated forms take shape, like incomplete thoughts, teetering between imagery and state.
His process is closely connected to both the philosophy and the practice of meditation. Following John Cage’s dictum of getting oneself out of the way Rüedi aims to allow things to manifest themselves whilst intervening as little as possible. The paintings can be understood as an attempt to observe cognition before it becomes crystallised thought; conception before language.
Rüedi attended the Escola Massana, Art and Design Centre, Barcelona, Spain; and received a Fine Art Degree from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. Recent solo exhibitions include Preaesns, Bureau, NYC, USA; And Between us Occurs the Following Conversation, Galerie Nordenhake, Berlin, Germany (2025); Yanhuitlán, Museo del Ex-Convento de Yanhuitlán, Oaxaca, Mexico (2024); Tabula Rasa, Museo de arte contemporáneo de Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico (2024); Systems, Galerie Nordenhake, Mexico City, Mexico (2024); Khōra, Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm, Sweden (2023); To see through all things clearly is to see through all things dimly, Galerie Nordenhake, Mexico City, Mexico (2022); Drawing the Boundaries of a Fire, Galería Karen Huber, Mexico City, Mexico (2021); In the Beginning the World Was Completely Real, Colector Gallery, Mexico City, Mexico (2020).
