Creativity Gallery
The exhibition will showcase new ceramic works by Guillermo Guardia, created since he moved to the Twin Cities in 2017. Recent Works will include sculptures from his three well-known series: Puzzle, Baby Devil, and Immigration, as well as his new series, Memories of Home. His well-crafted and richly decorated pottery will also be on display.
Guillermo Guardia received his BFA in industrial design from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in Lima, and both his MFA in ceramics and MS in industrial technology from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Originally from Peru, Guardia currently lives and works in St. Paul, Minnesota. He creates figurative sculptures, integrating pattern and form, which are influenced by art history, his upbringing in Peru, Catholicism, his transition to living in the United States, and political events. Guardia has exhibited nationally and was awarded a fellowship from North Dakota Council on the Arts and a residency at the North Dakota Museum of Art. His work is featured in the permanent collection of North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Fundación Puntos de Encuentro in Bogota, Columbia.
