Cyanotype
Suite of six prints – No Longer Available

In addition to maps, other frequent themes include city grids, apartment floor plans, theatre spaces, and, as in this suite of cyanotypes, abstract patterns designating the use of space for working, praying, working out and other activities, that Kuitca adapted from the architecturally-based Neufert designs. The medium of cyanotype, linked to architectural practice, is particularly appropriate for the project’s theme, and the deep, textured blue tones lend both sensuality and spirituality to Kuitca’s meditation on the conduction of our daily ritualistic activities. The cyanotype process was first used by Graphicstudio in 1972 with Robert Rauschenberg and revived with this suite with Kuitca.

The Artist

Guillermo Kuitca

Born in 1961 in Buenos Aires, Guillermo Kuitca is part of a movement of contemporary art called known as ‘geographical’. In the early 1980s, he experimented with the theatrical aspect by incorporating scenic spaces into his paintings. In the 1990s, he expanded his prism by exploring the themes of architecture and topography to combine public and private spaces. He has exhibited his work all over the world: from the Tate Gallery in London to the Metropolitan Museum in New York to the Daros Collection in Zurich. He also represented Argentina at the Biennale in Venice in 2007. Today, some of his works are exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, among others.
The recurring themes in his work are travelling and memory. In his early work, the character was an important element, and his small format paintings from the 1980s are directly related to drawings of female silhouettes. The individual was replaced in the 1990s by aspects of the human experience in different places or environments, through themes such as cartography, theatre and architecture. After concentrating on producing purely abstract paintings since 2007, it is only recently that Kuitca has consciously decided to return to the depiction of the human figure.
