LEILA TSCHOPP: ARTEBA'S WINNER FOR THE EFG LATIN AMERICA ART AWARD
In its 14th anniversary, Leila Tschopp is the winning artist of the 2024 EFG Latin America Art Award in partnership with ArtNexus. The announcement was made at Pinta Miami.
Leila Tschopp, born in Buenos Aires in 1978, explores potential interactions between images, objects, and architecture at the intersection of painting and installation. It is simultaneously choreographic and pictorial. Her work, which has been exploring the spatiality of painting since 2006, focuses on the viewer's physical experience as they navigate the show. Pintura Inhumana (Inhuman Painting) (2024), her most recent series, was created for her exhibition at ArtHaus, Buenos Aires, curated by theater director Mariana Obersztern. “Leila Tschopp's paintings constitute a disturbing and desolate, real and fictional territory that makes it impossible to coordinate for human life. There they are, nevertheless, placed, the humans, in scenes — true dramaturgy — of maximum tension, under a rising blinding sun that makes it impossible to grasp the place or the time of the facts”, said Victoria Noorthoorn, Director of the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (MAMBA).
In Pintura Inhumana, space becomes a liminal and critical zone, inhabited by humans whose state of being is unclear, suggesting the possibility of an uncertain future. In Noothoorn's words: “The oppressive space silences the woman's scream, yet simultaneously absorbs and reveals it".

In 2002, Tschopp received her diploma from Buenos Aires' Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón. The Oxenford Collection (2020), Fondo Metropolitano de Buenos Aires (2012), Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2008 and 2016), and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York, United States (2012) have all awarded her.
The work was selected at the arteBA fair with the collaboration of Noorthoorn jointly with Celia Sredni de Birbragher, Director and Editor of ArtNexus.
EFG has organized the acquisition award of the work of a Latin American artist through a nomination process in five Latin American fairs. The objective is to promote visual arts production by Latin American artists and generate more awareness of regional fairs in Latin America among international collectors. The selection was made by Birbragher and a curatorial advisor at each fair, with the strategic development of Liaisons.
This year, the nomination process was organized virtually and in person: Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín from Galería Elvira Moreno was nominated in ARTBO, Bogotá, with Natalia Gutiérrez; Miguel Aguirre from Galería Daniel Cuevas was nominated in Pinta PArC, Lima, with Sharon Lerner; Leila Tschopp from HACHE – Galería de arte contemporáneo at arteBA, Buenos Aires, with Victoria Noorthoorn; Eduardo Berliner from Casa Triângulo at SP-arte, São Paulo with Jacobo Crivelli Visconti; and Fernanda López Quilodrán from Aninat Galeria de Arte at Ch.ACO, Santiago de Chile, with Alexia Tala.
