HEATHER GUERTIN

Heather Guertin (b. 1981) is renowned for her distinct approach to color, line, and form, emphasizing the two-dimensional nature of her canvases and their structural framework. Her work draws inspiration from digital imagery, utilizing vivid, technicolor geometric shapes and expressive, cartoon-like figures. She creates an interplay of color variations that captivate the viewer’s optical senses and invites introspection. Despite the seemingly rigid architecture of her compositions, the ambiguous forms within them exude a sense of tranquility and sophistication, resulting in a commanding presence. Guertin was born in Worcester, MA and earned her MFA from he School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She now lives and works in Red Hook, NY.

She has held several notable solo exhibitions, including "The Whole" at Galería Agustina Ferreyra in San Juan, Puerto Rico, "Aluminum Linoleum" at Proyectos Monclova in Mexico City, "Development" at Brennan & Griffin in New York, and "Heand" at Interstate in Brooklyn. Additionally, Guertin has performed at venues like White Columns in New York and as part of the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh.
