Guim Tió
Barcelona, Spain, 1987
About
Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain
Guim Tió’s portraits capture the strangeness of the human condition. His practice has expanded to include thickly impastoed, blurred-face portraits as well as renderings of tiny figures adrift in imposing landscapes.
Tió’s works lead us to a journey through vast landscapes of memories and pastime experiences. Particularities and feelings are melted and inscribed into their environment, opening up limitless fields to wander through the essence of emotions that once were evoked.
Small, indeterminate figures, not much more than mere contours, convey a sense of profound solitude in the face of the sublime and stoic nature that surrounds them. In the serenity of the landscapes a sound of silence is conveyed, that echoes in the uniqueness of one’s own memories. Inscribed in our imprints, they shape and form roots, that perpetually transform through time passing by.
