The duo
Two artists. A shared imagination.
Carla Rendon and Jessica Ruiz work together as CRAJES. Their practice moves between painting, drawing, objects and mural projects.

New Porcelains!! limited edition B(R)EAST and one of a kind Urns
On 5 September 2016, CRAJES introduced porcelain works associated with the solo exhibition “Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur”. The post distinguishes B(R)EAST editions from two one-of-a-kind urns and describes hand-painted underglaze decoration.

“Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur” WIP I
The work-in-progress post of 1 September 2016 records six months of preparation for “Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur”. CRAJES describes the photographs as a glimpse of the exhibition’s making, rather than a complete catalogue.

NEW SOLO SHOW: “Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur”
The 27 August 2016 announcement introduces the exhibition “Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur”. The accompanying essay is credited to Marisol Solanova and discusses CRAJES’s treatment of the female figure, social expectations and religious imagery.
