Guillermo Kuitca: Plates No 1-24

Sale price$60.00

In his work, Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca draws on a range of iconography—including architectural plans, maps, theaters, musical scores, and domestic spaces—to explore themes of history, memory, structured absence, sound and silence, and the tension between the empirical and the abstract. His paintings and works on paper reimagine cubism, sampling its stylistic elementshe to develop a unique cubistoid style that masterfully reconciles abstraction with an illusionist form of figuration. This volume presents a body of work which developed out of the series that was shown at Ateneo Veneto in the Argentine Pavilion of the 2007 Venice Biennale.

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.
