Michèle
Guieu
Originally
from Marseille, France, Michèle Guieu lives and makes art in
San Diego. Her many travels, years living in Senegal, a father geologist
and a mother biologist, and a continued interest in world and political
events, has only been matched by her insatiable curiosity and unbridled
passion for art. It has made for a body of work un-characteristically
pure, filtered, and highly astute in its ability to transform a visual
vocabulary into essential language that reflects our personal and collective
hardships and joys. Guieu worked as a graphic designer with the political
group Grapus
and obtained a Masters Degree in Visual Communication from the ENSAD
in Paris. Her work has been shown in Paris, Copenhagen, Le Mans and
San Diego. She had a solo exhibition at the San Diego Art Institute.
She is one of the emerging artists nominated for the 2009 SD Art Prize
