Mark
Sofía Clausse (b.1989) is an artist originally from Argentina, currently based in London. She completed her BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design (2014), and the postgraduate program at the Royal Academy Schools in London (2022).

She mainly works with painting, paper, diagrams, and ceramics, to create a visual cosmos of her research into time, repetition, cycles, and language. Having come from a background in design, her process in the studio is influenced by tools, systems, symbols, typography, textiles, and a circular way of working with materials.

Central to her research are ideas of interconnection and spirituality, which she explores in her painting and diagrams. Her diagrams are a form of concrete poetry, in which she combines text, symbols, and lines to generate a new form of reading and expressing information. Her paintings of looping lines explore ideas of cycles, infinity, and repetition, and they act like a labyrinth where one can get intentionally lost in order to find oneself and one's path once again.

This interweaving and knotted line is similar to the path taken in the studio, in which all the works are connected as if through an invisible looping line, always on the quest to see where else it will go, and what else it will become.

Clausse follows a circular and alchemical way of production in the studio – in which leftover material, learnings, or processes transform and become the next. In this way, all of the works come together to form a visual cosmos, where symbols, words, lines, material, and thoughts are enmeshed in constellations of meaning, through which to learn, listen, create, and transform.
