THE LUCKY ONES

paintings by Claudia Guerreiro

A search for woman painters reveals a wealth of enlightenment to either gender. Women who shaped an art-world of their own. It's obvious to find names like, Louise Bourgeois and Louise Nevelson; two masters of illusion with craft. Then we find Georgia O'Keeffe and Tamara de Lempicka; two masters of seduction with style. And who doesn't get the ripe obsessions of Helen Frankenthaler and Frida Kahlo; two masters of their unknown desires.

But with no explanation it is Barbara Kruger that comes to mind when enjoying the paintings of young Claudia Guerreiro.
