Luis Gutierrez - Passion, Evolution, Liberation

Triton Museum of Art

May 1-June 30, 2007

Add Review/Comment

A retrospective exhibition of works by former San Jose City College professor of art, Luis Gutierrez. Whether he is painting abstract forms that reveal his emotions, giving voice to his psychological responses to experiences that touch him -- such as the Katrina disaster, the passing of a friend, anxiety over a lost cat -- or creating an intricately constructed assemblage sculpture that reveals his fascination with antiques, advertising, and the many external assaults on our perceptions, Gutierrez can be relied upon to deliver his most intimate musings. His is a vocabulary of abstract emotion, profound, often playful, and always challenging in its avoidance of easily recognizable narration. Gutierrez was long-time professor of art at San Jose City College, now retired. This exhibition will offer a survey of the artist’s remarkable career, body of work, and A reception to meet the artist will be held Friday, May 11, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

    This is a great, fun, enchanting exhibit. It's like walking in a forest of giant mushrooms.

    I was impressed by the sheer quantity of work apparently completed in the last year. Many of the canvases looked as if they had been worked and reworked such that I wonder if they are not culminations of a process that had been ongoing over multiple years. Not that it matters, the work is confidently wrought. As a body of work the paintings were extremely varied with not much coherence as a whole. The painting closest to the back entrance or side exit (painting situated to the right of exit) was most compelling because of the simplicity of the composition and pallet. It is always a treat to see the work of an art teacher and active artist Collapse
