Scarf Silk José de Guimarães Pequeno - Ilha dos Amores
José de Guimarães was born on November 25, 1939, in Guimarães. Since 1995 the artist divides his life between Lisbon and Paris.
A stay in Angola in the 1960s was to prove decisive in defining his artistic vocabulary, as was contact with specialists in African ethnology. Thus was born an artistic project driven by an attempt to osmosis between two forms of plastic expression, the European and the African. But if the first decade of artistic production is based on Africa, in the more than forty years of work, one finds complete series dedicated to Chinese and Japanese cultures, the art of Rubens, the literature of Camões, or the particular conception of death in Mexico. In recent years, it has become apparent that his career reflects a vocation for forms and figures that tends towards the cosmopolitan.
Having held numerous exhibitions in several countries and, in addition to solo exhibitions at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon, 1978), the Palais des Beaux-Arts (Brussels, 1984), the Museum of Modern Art (Mexico City, 1987) and the Serralves Foundation (Porto, 1992) in the last decade, he has seen anthological or retrospective exhibitions devoted to him in Portugal, Germany, Tokyo, Switzerland, Brazil, Spain, Luanda, Italy, Brussels and China. In 2012, he was elected President of the National Society of Fine Arts.
His work, represented in the most important institutional collections in Portugal and around the world (especially in Japan and Germany), proposes crossings with the art of non-Western civilizations - African, Chinese and Mesoamerican - an incessant search for non-verbal relationships, to which the work of collector to which he has been dedicated for several decades is no stranger.
