The works on view feature oil paintings on paper created by the artist in 2002/2003 after he traveled to Egypt for three weeks. In his characteristic style, the paintings incorporate architectural elements, the moody and evocative effect of atmosphere, and the abstraction of the artist's impressions of this ancient land.
The artist visited Egypt in late 2001. With the decrease in international travel at the time, the Egyptian landscape was desolate. The stark beauty of the country's flora and monuments come through in two primary symbols, the palm tree and buildings typical of the region. Notably absent are the obvious: Sphinx, pyramid, and hieroglyphics.
Although the artist cites Matisse, Morandi, Motherwell, and Picasso as influences, his work is truly his own. It is architectural, earthy, and sublime.
Guerrero first showed with Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art in 2001. The artist subsequently has shown with various galleries worldwide, including solo and group shows in Florida, New York, and Virginia as well as Barcelona, Spain. Guerrero, born in Madrid, lives and works in New York City.
