PAZ G

The ceramic sculptures of self-taught Chilean artist Paz G house the tales of their family’s lives and lineages, threading the connective tissue of memory across experiences of precarity and displacement. Most recently, Paz’s work has shifted into oil painting (they’ve gone on the wall). This new work is driven by rhythm and fantastical terror, death, mortality, and the imagination of the Fascist state. Paz was recently featured in Ritual Clay at the Mannetti Shrem Museum in Davis, CA (2024), Bay Area Now 9 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco (2023), Personal Alchemy, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Arts (2020), Ceramic Interventions, di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, Napa, CA (2022), and Slip Tease, Kasmin Gallery, NY, NY (2023). They were a finalist for the 2024 SF MoMA SECA Award. @kilns
