Kind of Blue, Kind of Black – Nicolás Guzmán


“Kind of blue, kind of black”
 is an investigation into the relationship between the colors blue and black as part of our visual and emotional language. Through the blending and juxtaposition of these two fundamental parts of the artistic palette, multidisciplinary artist Nicolás Guzmán combines the figurative and the surreal. In the form of paintings, ceramic sculptures, and video, his installation abstracts the everyday into a minimalist form that transforms color and technique from modes of process into the subject of the works. As viewers encounter flowers, people, and Guzmán’s gestural mark-making, he asks each of us to join him on an investigation of the world of blue and black he has devised.

“For contemporary multidisciplinary artist Nicolás Guzmán, blue and black have a love story he feels needs to be told. In a series of abstracted and minimalist paintings, sculptural pieces, and a video installation, he has brought together these different facets of his work to help focus our attention on the power of these two colors.

Reducing the extent and detail of formal elements, he guides our attention to the interplay of blue and black on the canvas, in objects, and ultimately in our lives…” @champagneandvitamins
