Theodore Ereira-Guyer

Theodore Ereira-Guyer works predominantly in the fields of print, sculpture and photography. His practice refers to knowledge that is not heuristically available through experience; to what happens when the objects of knowledge are removed from the human gaze but still activate a form of remembrance and agency.

The artist lives and works between London, UK, and Portugal. Ereira-Guyer studied at Byam Shaw and Central St. Martins, followed by an MA in Print from the Royal College of Art in 2014. The same year, he was awarded the Helen Chadwick Award for multidisciplinary artists. Exhibiting worldwide, Ereira-Guyer’s work is held in both private and public collections including, Victoria and Albert Museum; British Museum; Tate; Yale Center for British Art; Center Pompidou; Gulbenkian Museum; Millennium BCP Foundation, and Museu de Arte Contemporânea Armando Martins.

“There is a silence to the running of water, a timeless silence of fountains, of rivers running, tears of sadness and joy, and of songs repeated, and passed through time and generations - but I think my draw towards these acts of crying, and singing, is thinking about them as elementary acts, elementary parts of humanity and our lives as humans, of suffering and of overcoming”
