Contemporary American Artist
"Guy-Vincent's often scroll-like mixed media works re-imagine the long, opaque quality of time's passage, and the persistence of human identity half-submerged in its tide. Working on canvases or Dibond panels abutted in series, or on very large sheets of thick artists' paper, GV mixes images and calligraphic marks, half-painted over as if with white-wash, or perhaps (metaphorically) sea-foam. These written traces and forms float in pentimento-riddled layers, hinting of mythic paradigms and distant epochs. Their overlapping suggests the circulation of information and differing perspectives, rolling between contemporary communications technologies and the genetics of genealogy."

"As an artist Guy-Vincent functions as a unique combination of philosopher, scholar, inventor, virtuoso, magician, and mad scientist. Much can yet be expected of Guy-Vincent's art practice, but his greatest work of art so far is the artist himself!
