Curtis Gutierrez
Twentynine Palms, California
Curtis Gutierrez is a Southern California painter and muralist, known for his highly expressive abstract figurative and narrative subjects and large scale.
MessageLarge-scale painting on unstretched canvas, part of the "Monocarpic" series. Monocarpic means "flowering once, then dying", and the century plant, common to the Southern California high desert, is an example of this type of plant. The artist's move to this region has influenced his subject matter, even including landscapes, which had previously never featured in his work. This piece references the many energy vortices in the area, considered sacred by some, and the issue of migration, here symbolized by birds, who do not experience borders when they migrate.
- Subject Matter: Landscape
