We are thrilled to announce the upcoming solo exhibition by French artist Guillaume Grando, better known under his artist name, SUPAKITCH. Entitled "Soleado", the exhibition will be hosted at our art gallery in Mahon, on the sunlit island of Menorca.
Born in Bagnolet in 1978, Guillaume Grando was quickly drawn to the world of graffiti. Fascinated by the freedom and raw nature of this street art, he began exploring and combining different artistic techniques. Over time, he developed a love for materials and the interaction of elements, creating his own supports in the studio using materials like wood, resin, granite, and brass. More recently, he has turned his attention to fluids, captivated by their inscrutable movement and shape.
After living in New York and Paris, it was the Basque Country that Guillaume Grando chose as his home. This region, which has left a lasting imprint on his heart, has become a constant source of inspiration for his artistic work. Today, he lives and works in Biarritz, continuing to express his passion for movement, light, and matter through his art.
In "Soleado", Guillaume Grando celebrates the Menorcan sun and its mesmerizing light. He draws inspiration from the natural phenomena created by the sun on the island, from the refractions and reflections of light through the liquid matter of the Mediterranean to the soothing movements and relaxing shadows cast on dry-stone landscapes. This
exhibition promises to offer a fresh look at the island, capturing its essence through the unique vision of the artist.
