Guillermo Cárdenas Fischer (born 1969), also known as Gucafi, is a Colombian artist. He was born in Bogotá into a family of well known Colombian artists. He has worked as an art academic with many universities, both in Colombia and abroad. Guillermo graduated with a BFA(Bachelor of Fine Arts) from the Rhode Island School of Design RISD in the USA and at the moment is a PhD candidate in painting at the Sydney College of the Arts (SCA), University of Sydney. The topic of his research is on Trauma in Contemporary Art. Guillermo Cárdenas’s work deals with the fragmentation and restructuring of time and space through painting. Influenced by personal and political aspects of his homeland, Colombia – where he was almost killed by a detonating bomb in 1989 – Cárdenas’ paintings look as if they have been blown apart while being simultaneously pulled back together. Cárdenas has exhibited in the USA, Colombia, Mexico, Europe and Australia.
