Jennifer Guidi

Jennifer Guidi makes meditative, mandala-like paintings layered with a blend of sand, pigment, and either oil or acrylic paints. She marks thumbprint-shaped dimples in the thick surfaces with a dowel, producing hypnotic, tactile abstractions that reference the modernism of the American Southwest, process-oriented minimalism, Light and Space art, and lyrical abstraction. Guidi’s concerns include spirituality and ancient theories of energy and perception. The artist has also made monochromes on canvases shaped like triangles. She has exhibited in New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, London, Miami, and Chicago. Guidi’s work has sold for six figures at auction and has been acquired by the de la Cruz Collection, the Guggenheim Museum, the Hammer Museum, the Rubell Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
