SOPHIE AND DOUGLAS CANTOR. A catalyser of thoughts and experiences.

MARTIN MAYORGA, DATEAGLE ART, 24 Jul 2018

It’s been three years now since artists Sophie Vallance Cantor and Douglas Cantor moved to Berlin, a city that has provided them with a sense of isolation, turning out to fuel an honest and fluid production of their works. Sharing lives, studio, and experiences, Sophie and Douglas have constructed two quite distinct visual languages; yet one which allows a fluid conversation with one another.

The bleeding of their practices welcomes an open discussion, in which the artist’s intermingle motifs and colours, re-appropriating certain elements from each other, with the will to push forward their artistic practice. To learn more about how they achieve this, we visited Sophie and Douglas’s shared studio space; a re-configured living-room area of their house; filled with cats, rugs, kitsch objects, and paintings.
