Artist list

Daniel Kruger

Daniel Kruger is a collector of materials and forms, a discoverer of treasures. His universe is made up of a diversity of proposals that he approaches with great freedom and a form of ingenuity. Steeped in South African popular culture, he gives his work unexpected and crucial meaning. Whether it's pieces of glass, bones, textile threads or seeds, his infinite respect for the material and his love of detail add an extra dimension of soul. They amaze us with their singular beauty.
