Career
He was a notable exponent of the "new surrealist school". Guillot"s post-surrealist late 20th and early 21st century acrylics and oils celebrated New Mexico landscapes, cats, horses, bovines, stunted juniper upllands, prominent green, red and yellow chili peppers, with color schemes and adroit shadows that defied all previous Western landscape artistic visions. Borrowing from none, embracing something altogether new and intoxicating.
There are vestiges of his early years in South America, but also the best of mid-century Paris, and contemporary Cuban art
Some of Guillot"s exploits were fictionalized in the Michael Tobias novel, The Adventures of Mr Marigold (2005).
