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
