about the book

In June 2013, Argentinean artist Guillermo Kuitca undertook a residency at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, where he created an immersive wall mural in the dining room of a residential house. This mural represents the first time Kuitca painted a space that envelops the viewer completely, and it consequently triggered a shift in his artistic practice. The new body of work that resulted forms the focus of this publication and offers fascinating insight into matters of domestic space and architecture. This book is released at the occasion of ‘Guillermo Kuitca,’ an exhibition of the artist’s work at Hauser & Wirth London from 27 May – 30 July 2016.

The Artist

Guillermo Kuitca

Born in 1961 in Buenos Aires, where he continues to live and work, Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca’s distinctive cubistoid style masterfully reconciles abstraction with an illusionist form of figuration. Informed by the worlds of architecture, music, theater and cartography, Kuitca’s paintings seek to incite the potential for a theatrical experience. Shifting from gestural mark making to linear precision, and incorporating diverse motifs – spanning fragmented geographical maps and architectural plans – Kuitca’s work mines varied aesthetic styles and histories.
