Isabella Ducrot (b. 1931, Naples) is an artist and writer whose four-decade career is rooted in a sustained engagement with textiles as both material and metaphor. Working with pencil, pastel, ink, and watercolour on delicate papers, Ducrot compresses cultural references spanning philosophy, folklore, and weaving traditions, exploring repetition, form, and colour at both intimate and monumental scales. Her works are held in numerous public collections, including the Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo; Cranford Collection, London; EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Espoo; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome; Le Consortium, Dijon; MAMCO, Geneva; MAXXI – Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome; Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Ludovico Corrao, Gibellina; and Munchmuseet, Oslo.
Recent exhibitions include Profusione at Le Consortium, Dijon; presentations at Petzel, New York; Gisela Capitain, Cologne; Sadie Coles, London; and Incongruous (2025), Kōseiin Temple, Kyoto, Japan.
