Photogravure and screenprint on paper collé
- Signed, Dated
Guillermo Kuitca’s Naked Tango (2004) is a limited edition mixed media print, created through photogravure and screenprint on paper collé. Measuring 57 x 47 inches, the artwork features an abstract arrangement of black brushstrokes combined with outlined shoeprints. The shoeprints are positioned as though they are part of a choreographed dance, evoking the movements of a tango. The dynamic interplay between the brushstrokes and the footstep patterns creates a sense of motion and rhythm, while the sparse composition leaves room for interpretation. Kuitca's use of both abstract and representational elements invites the viewer to reflect on themes of movement, identity, and the spaces we inhabit. The piece is signed and dated by the artist.

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I use the image of a map to get lost… not to get oriented.
- Guillermo Kuitca
Guillermo Kuitca, born in 1961 is an Argentinian artist. Guillermo Kuitca's works include installations, drawings, paintings and sculptures, and almost never involve humans. His works do however, indicate a strong human presence- as one critic said, it's as if 'the actors have just walked off the stage.' In the 80s, Guillermo Kuitca had a 'theatrical theme' to his work, including a painting of empty theatre seats. Guillermo Kuitca calls this a dark period in his painting where he merged theatre with painting. After 1987, Kutica began to paint the elements of architecture in place of "theatrical spaces." He would paint things like doors, entrances to a room, beds and chairs, and said that he believed his work to be more interesting when humans were less present. Guillermo Kuitca is also well known for his work with maps and terrains. Guillermo Kuitca is known in the art world as a resistance painter because his work often resist coherency and it can't be defined subjectively
