House Plan with Blood Flows


Guillermo Kuitca
House Plan with Blood Flows, 1991
Acrylic on canvas, 37 x 27 inches

The artist is fascinated by cartographical forms, from maps of vast swaths of territory to compressed urban grids to compact floor plans. In many paintings he has reproduced the layout of a small apartment. Here the space is a living, pulsating organism, both nurturing and ominous.
