Francisca Sutil is a Chilean painter known for her research of the chromatic surface, the nature of the support, and the study of textures and materials that she prepares herself. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1952, she moved to New York where she received an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute in 1981. Since 1992, Sutil has lived and worked in Santiago. Sutil’s work is characterized by its superb construction and unique contemplative qualities. When approaching her paintings, the viewer is immediately captivated by the textures and hues. Intending no specific content in her paintings, she instead asks viewers to respond openly and honestly to her abstractions. She uses her work to provoke emotions and sensations, and in turn, encourages reflection, meditation and lasting thoughts and memories from that experience. Her work can be seen in public and corporate collections such as the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX; El Museo, New York; the Museo de Artes Visuales, Santiago; the Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas, Venezuela; the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Chase Manhattan Bank, New York; the IBM, Santiago; and the World Bank, Washington D.C.; among others. In 2016, Sutil was awarded Best Exhibition of the Year by the Chilean Art Critics Association, and in 2017, the Marco Bontá for her artistic trajectory.
