Robert Gutowski | Featured Artist at El Zapote GalleryIn 1983, he and his family moved to Bangkok where he worked as a free-lance artist and taught at the International School of Bangkok. In 1989 he and his family settled in Cairo, where he taught at Cairo American College until 2006.

In his travels, Robert has carried sketchbooks, now numbering over 60, that he has filled with images from which he creates his prints. His most recent series depict scenes from Egypt; in particular, from his visits to the Red Sea town of El Arish and the Bedouin market. His printmaking has captured the spirit of place and people with a style incorporating economy of line and movement.

Robert has exhibited internationally during his printmaking career. His most recent exhibitions have been in Cairo at the Netherlands Dutch Institute; the USIS in Alexandria and at Cairo American College.

Now living in Phoenix, Arizona, Mr. Gutowski works daily in his studio.
