Peter Gutierrez works primarily with acrylics on paper on wood, combining
techniques of traditional painting, collage, and assemblage. A native of San
Antonio, Texas, Gutierrez has lived in the UK, Key West, Florida, Texas, Berlin,
and Amherst, Massachusetts. He currently resides in Belgium.
"I'm essentially interested in metaphor," he says. "Strangers, outsiders,
prophets, spirits, angels, and messengers."
Gutierrez has exhibited in a number of venues in Belgium, including the
Université Libre de Bruxelles, the Musée d'Art Spontané, and the United States
Embassy in Brussels. His work is on permanent display at the Musée d'Art
Spontané and at the U.S. Embassy.
