SHANE GUFFOGG: COLOR - Conversations about color and how it has influenced the artist's work

(Follow me as I research the origins of color and discover how it has inspired the work of Los Angeles based artist Shane Guffogg) - Victoria Chapman

About six months ago I listened to a podcast about color and it really got me thinking about the history of art and Guffogg’s paintings. Working amongst them in the studio, I started to contemplate how the artist uses color to create his visual poetry. The subject of color in art is vast. I began to research it from the beginning and the parts I became particularly interested in, I wrote notes about, and proposed questions to the artist.

Shane Guffogg - Letter From Ukraine

I open this with a copy of a letter recently sent to Shane. As his studio manager, I have a unique position to witness what happens within the walls of his creative spaces. In writing these newsletters, it is always my goal to share the work with as many people as possible. And as a “fly on the wall”, I believe, “Letter from Ukraine” is symbolic of the times we live in. It is a testimony to us all, that it does not matter where we live or what language we speak. Great art has the ability to bring us together and share comparative thought.

Shane Guffogg- Art and Spirituality - The Search for Truth Part 3

I am beginning this month with the mention of Circle of Truth, a group exhibition curated by Laura Hipke and Shane Guffogg, which opened to the public on October 18th at the New Museum Los Gatos. From the inception to the opening, the exhibition took Guffogg and Hipke 9 years to complete. They contacted specific artists to create work based on the essence of truth and its consequential visual language.

Shane Guffogg - Art and Spirituality

Some artists spend countless hours – even lifetimes – drawing and painting from life, documenting their existence through physical forms and realistic subjects. Others create imaginary worlds based on abstract themes, all the while interpreting life in the way that they see it and feel it. Shane Guffogg is an artist that encompasses both factions, but also (from this writer’s perspective) creates an agent for the soul, taking the viewer on a journey to a spiritual realm.
