My work has always focused on an individual emotion that is captured through expression. Creating the work is a delicate dance of intuitive yet controlled, acting and reacting, relationship with the paint. Paint is organic, and my process allows me to convey the fluidity found in nature. The forms and movements that emerge are able to exist within their own capacity, captured in a moment. -Dirk Guidry
Born in 1987, Dirk Guidry was raised in the small bayou town of Galliano, Louisiana. In 2005, Guidry moved away from the bayou to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The art program helped further his skills as well as develop his own unique style. In the spring of 2012, Guidry received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Painting.
His studio is located downtown Lafayette at Basin Arts, where he is the co-creator and manager of the BARE Walls program, and currently serves on the Louisiana State Arts Council. Aside from his well-known large scale abstract works, he utilizes his talents by also painting portraits, landscapes, live events, and murals.
