Gustavo Pérez Monzón

At once precise and enigmatic, Gustavo Pérez Monzón builds a universe where geometry becomes a vessel for metaphysical, logical, and esoteric inquiry. His work navigates the intersection of Conceptual and Minimalist art, treating line, form, and space as elements of a larger system of relationships. Through geometric structures, organic materials, and disciplined repetition, he investigates the invisible connections that underpin perception and thought. His practice shifts seamlessly between drawing, sculpture, and installation, adapting to the conceptual demands of each idea while sustaining an atmosphere of rigor and mystery. Pérez Monzón often draws on numerology, Kabbalah, and other esoteric traditions, using these frameworks to structure his compositions and to explore the invisible patterns underlying the material world. By employing both natural and constructed forms, he bridges tangible and intangible realms, translating abstract concepts into concrete visual experiences. His works emphasize precision, balance, and subtlety, encouraging viewers to reflect on logic, meaning, and the metaphysical qualities of space and line. Through careful material and formal choices, Pérez Monzón transforms ordinary elements into instruments of contemplation, creating artworks that are at once meditative and intellectually rigorous. By merging conceptual inquiry with Minimalist aesthetics, Pérez Monzón positions his work as a space for introspection and discovery, inviting audiences to engage with the unseen structures that inform both art and life. ...

Founded in 2012, Richard Saltoun Gallery specialises in contemporary art, with an emphasis on feminist, conceptual and performance artists from the 1960s onwards. It is guided by a strong focus on rediscovering the work of important yet under-recognised artists through presentations at both its locations, online exhibitions, events and participation in art fairs around the world. Since its inception, Richard Saltoun Gallery has been driven by an interest in serving a wider purpose and is now recognised for its critically and socially-engaged programme. In 2019, the gallery launched a year-long initiative titled 100% Women that aimed to address gender inequality in the art world and encourage wider industry action through debate, dialogue and collaboration. In 2021, it dedicates all exhibitions to the writings of German-born, American political philosopher Hannah Arendt in a 12-month programme On Hannah Arendt to confront some of the most perplexing socio-political issues of our time. The gallery is considered a leader in its representation of female artists, from avant-garde pioneers of the 1960s and ‘70s, such as Eleanor ANTIN, Renate BERTLMANN and Gina PANE, to a younger generation of female artists including Silvia GIAMBRONE and Florence PEAKE. It continues to support female artists through extensive research, partnerships and solo presentations at the gallery and online. Additionally, Richard Saltoun is noted for its support of pioneering artists who have pushed the conceptual and disciplinary boundaries in which they work, from LI Yuan-chia, one of the earliest proponents of abstract and conceptual art in Taiwan, to ULAY, the late photographer and performance artist, as well as British artists Victor BURGIN, Rose ENGLISH, John HILLIARD, Peter KENNARD, Bob LAW, Penny SLINGER and more. The gallery preserves the legacy of artists through its representation of artist estates, including Helen CHADWICK, David HALL, Alexis HUNTER, Bob LAW, Marinella PIRELLI, Jo SPENCE, Barbara LEVITTOUX-ŚWIDERSKA and Shelagh WAKELY, amongst others. The gallery acts as a consultant to major museums and public institutions and advises private and corporate collections. It actively documents the work of its artists through the production of publications and frequently stages talks, screenings and performances. ...
