Guilbert’s practice spans painting, drawing and music, reflecting his interest in recurring visual motifs that produce rhythmic, melodic effects. The artist’s practice is often engaged with his personal and lived experiences, with his Creole roots and childhood on Réunion Island among the inspirations for his paintings and musical compositions, which incorporate vocals and guitar. Central to much of Guilbert’s work in abstraction is an ineffable, nostalgic quality that defies any fixed narrative. “The volcano is part of an unconscious, a space I lived and grew up in. The subject represented is an eruption, a projection, a sensation projected onto the surface of every painting. Every work of art is the projection of an affect and of an idea.” Brice Guilbert.
