Guilloume
is a master of "Bolismo," a self-described, emotion-filled style using modest forms, textures and
shading to portray the vast range of human feelings—from the simple
visages of routine daily interactions to those highly complex
expressions reflecting the depths and heights of the earthly experience
with all its joy, afflictions, hopes and fears. A Guilloume canvas is a
dreamscape of memory and emotion where angles observe, as human forms
move gracefully through the most mundane of tasks.
Born in Colombia in 1957, Guilloume dedicated himself to the arts at an
early age, completing his formal studies at Medellin's prestigious
Bellas Artes Institute in 1982. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1985 and
currently maintains a studio near Sante Fe, New Mexico (USA) where he
uses oil, watercolor, oil-pastel, pastel, pencil and ink to create his
paintings. An equally accomplished sculptor, Guilloume's bronze and
stone creations have been singled out by Sculpture Magazine to place
him among the 10 most important sculptors of our day.
Guilloume's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in Los
Angeles, Scottsdale, Sedona, Sante Fe, and Albuquerque, as well as in
his native Colombia.
"When I look at a person, I see beyond the persona and the temporary
attributes of age, beauty and style.
It is there that I find the circles
and the roundish forms that define the very essence of the human
figure."
Pippin Meikle Fine Art is pleased to represent
Guilloume, whose paintings and sculpture are collected internationally.
