E R I C G U E N E T T E
I am an American painter currently living in Portugal, I use common household paints and materials to create abstract works mainly from Latex and spray paints; simple wood for structural decorative framing and canvas and fiberboard for surface materials. The paint application is usually with small pieces of cut framing wood or recycled plastic as scrapers and rarely with brushes. The work has an organic feel all the way through the painting process. Since moving to Portugal in 2024, I have been creating unframed works on fiberboard.
One of my biggest artistic influences was my grandfather Marcel, who was a golf shoe maker at Footjoy in Brockton, Massachusetts for thirty years. He could build anything with his hands. He could often be found in his small wood shop behind his house in Winter Park, Florida. As a child, I would be transfixed as my grandfather built all sort of projects with whatever materials he has to work with. This inspires me to this day to work in a fully organic process. I feel that it is important to be involved in every aspect of the artwork, from the construction of the homemade frames, stretching house painter drip cloths as my canvas material and finishing most of the artwork with clean white pine decorative framing.
As a self-taught abstract painter and professional graphic designer for more than 25 years, I combine traditional graphic design principles with unique painting processes to create a my style. Since moving to Lagos, Portugal in 2024, I have been creating unframed works.
In many of these works, there is a repeating theme of curved shapes which I see as abstract portraits; the collective human experience in motion, as an abstract journalist telling a story that is not read but felt. This became a focus in my earlier works during the pandemic and have continued this focus. As a self-taught abstract painter and professional graphic designer for more than 25 years, I combine traditional graphic design principles with more uncommon painting processes to create a unique abstract voice.
