Artist Bio:
Jose Guinto is a painter/printmaker, and educator with an MFA degree from Columbia University, School of the Arts, New York, NY. Guinto's artwork provides an ongoing reflection of the world that surrounds us, depicting physical and metaphoric environments. He articulates through his images ideas that indulge in the ridiculous. The dark humor he utilizes in his work is a play on absurdity and futility as a means of satire. The bleakness of the images implies the desperation one encounters in the sleep of reason. He reminds us of Francisco Goya's etching "El Sueno De la Razon Produce Monstrous." {The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters}. In his sleep of reason, the personal concerns of identity and origin become apparent. Jose has taught at Columbia University, and currently teaches at the California College of the Arts in the First Year Drawing and 2D Program, Printmaking Department and is part of the visiting studio faculty of the CCA Graduate Program. He shows nationally and internationally. Jose was born in the Philippines, and currently lives and works in Oakland, California.
