tori pounds

Tori Pounds (b.1995) is an English painter based in Mexico City. Her works encounter ideas of ecology and the collateral damage of an anxious society, looking closely at what follows after the extinction of the human species and what might be left behind. She completed her BFA at the Academie Minerva in Groningen, the Netherlands (2017), further studying painting at Hunter College in New York City. Afterwards she travelled and worked in various veterinary hospitals as a theatre auxiliary, becoming intrigued by the varied modern relationships between man and animal, before coming back to her art discipline and working professionally in her San Miguel Chapultepec studio in Mexico City for the last two years. In 2021, Pounds has shown at Zona Maco Fair, Mexico as well as galleries such as Galeria Hilario Galguera and JO-HS.
