Guillaume’s work has foreign qualities that European and North American art lovers might associate with the paintings of Paul Gauguin or Howard Hodgkin. The artist spent nearly twenty-years in the Amazon rain-forest. The experience has had an understandably heavy influence on Guillaume’s philosophy and art practice. His paintings share a common language written in stark, black line. His colors are as bold as a Macaw or Parrot. Sometimes his work is gilded in gold like the artworks of the Aztec . Guillaume’s paintings are layer upon layer of color and line, adding and subtracting - not unlike the multitude of foliage and leaves, cycles of death and rebirth - one would expect in the jungle.
