Diana Guerrero-Maciá
Diana Guerrero-Maciá’s art practice questions both Modernist and Post-Modernist approaches to form and content. She is known for her hybrid paintings that are constructed from textiles, in addition to collaged works on paper, and designed functional sculptures. Her abstract work engages with language, iconography, symbols, and color while embodying the expressive context of Latine exile and migration. Guerrero-Maciá is a Lenore Tawney Fellow, John Simon Guggenheim Fellow, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellow, and MacDowell Fellow. She is currently a Presidential Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Fiber & Material Studies and Painting & Drawing.
Diana’s artworks are held in multiple public and private collections. She has exhibited at The John Michael Kohler Art Center; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Artpace, San Antonio; Elmhurst Museum; and the Crocker Art Museum, Secrist-Beach Gallery, Traywick Contemporary, among other galleries and institutions.
