(He/him)
Address: Enebakkveien 208, 0680 Oslo
Floor: -1
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
Enrique Guadarrama Solis is a Mexican visual artist based in Oslo with education from Facultad de Artes y Diseño, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (2008-2013), and Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo (2019-2021). His practice explores colliding concepts such as tradition/technology, analogue/digital and magic/ logic, oscillating between randomness and structure. Focusing on process and intuition he challenges the boundaries of traditional printmaking and sculpture through systems, objects, installation and performance.

In my studio
People will be able to have a glimpse into my everyday artistic practice, the processes behind my artworks, and how I run my workshop. It will be a good opportunity to get to know my upcoming projects and exhibitions within print, sculpture, and installation. My studio consists of a woodworking area with sculptures and other projects, and a printmaking area that contains The Machine, a wooden printing press I designed and built myself. I am planning ongoing demonstrations with The Machine where visitors are invited to print their own small scale monoprint.
Planned projects and exhibitions
Upcoming solo exhibition at International Casita Contemporary, Oslo, March 2025.
Upcoming solo exhibition at Østfold Kunstsenter, Fredrikstad, September 2025.
Upcoming solo exhibition at RAM Galleri, Oslo, September 2025.
