Born in Argentina, raised in Brazil, Guillermo Creuss currently resides in Bushwick. Guillermo originally came to New York to pursue his career in painting, although these days you are more likely to come across his curated art shows than his own work. And most importantly, you are very likely to come across his online gallery Fortress to Solitude. 

Guillermo has been immersed in curating since 2009, when he curated his first art show on the second floor of 56 Bogart building. “I think that being an artist is a good asset for a curator,” says Guillermo, who as a foreigner has more or less successfully battled the English language and titled the first show Fortress to Solitude, instead of Fortress of Solitude. The name with a cute mistake stuck, and created a brand for months to follow. “As a curator I opened my eyes to the large amount of work which is in the neighborhood and also worldwide. That wasn’t the case when I was focused on my own work in my studio,” said Guillermo.
