Guest curator Kathryn Kanjo, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego presents: Becky Guttin: Drawings on Paper Artist's Reception: Saturday, June 17, 2023 4 - 7 p.m. Drawings on Paper celebrates the long, extensive artistic journey of internationally renowned artist, Becky Guttin. Well-versed in a multitude of media, this exhibit takes a look at some of her earlier works on paper, providing insight to some of the ideas being explored throughout her career. Guttin’s work examines the relationship between the natural world and the materials she utilizes. Earthy tones blend together to create swaying palm trees arching over thick pastel marks of bright, cycling gusts of wind. Later works would indicate a change in direction, with a near-monochromatic scheme of tall plant stalks and towering buildings being interrupted by splashes of yellow, undertones of blue, or outlines of red. Her most recent work on display shows a balanced harmony between the amorphous organic shapes from the past and the simple palette composed of the primary colors from her more recent explorations. An examination into the visual imagery of Guttin’s art shows themes consistent with nature and organic objects and how they relate back to her personal experiences. Her expressive linework and intuitive usage of color are indicative to a distinct style curated over a lifetime of creativity and passion. Works on exhibit June 17 - July 28 by appointment: (858) 336-6678 / vicki@SIPartSpace.com 215 S. Pacific Street, Suite 10, San Marcos, CA 92078 Note: This is a binational exhibition and retrospective in conjunction with CECUT, Centro Cultural Tijuana. CECUT exhibition curated by Smadar Samson.
