Gui Machado’s paintings are all about process. He isn’t interested in creating a painting in the traditional sense, the ac t of painting is a per formance. Choices are made during the process and tha t makes it impossible to have two paintings that look the same. The artist is interested in the ambiguity of the viewer. From far away an image is created, when you step closer you see all the de tails and other images are formed and connect to memories in their brain. He prefers to hear what the viewer sees than to explain what he intended since it opens new doors of meanings that he wasn’t expecting. The artist works primarily in black and white but he has been slowly introducing hints of color in his la test series. Machado has experienced with a great variety of surfaces to expand the possibilities of his experiments. Guilherme “Erasmo” Machado is a Brazilian artist based in Brooklyn.
