Guillermo Mora cultivates a unique visual vocabulary, creating an abstract mode of communication. Mora’s stimulating compositions construct environments through which the artist questions protocols and procedures of contemporary painting. His work is focused on three concepts: overlapping, concealment and disappearance in painting.
“Más aire” is a series of works on paper, in which Guillermo Mora prepares two color surfaces that will later overlap and fix them to create an air chamber in between. Then, as if it were a wood carving or the most classic marbles, he gives shape to these pieces through removing the material, revealing what the first layer hides and presenting the intermediate space as suspended time.
Guillermo Mora was featured in 100 Painters of Tomorrow by Thames & Hudson and was awarded several interational prizes, including the Audemars Piguet Award. He received a fellowship from the Spanish Academy in Rome in 2010–2011, as well as a scholarship at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York in 2016. His work is part of the Margulies Collection (US), the Museum Voorlinden (NL), the Elgiz Museum (TR), the Fondazione Benetton (IT), the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (ES), and the Caja Madrid Foundation (ES), among others.
