Memories Painting

GG is a graphic artist, born in Italy, but who lives and works in London. Having studied in Italy and in the States, his career has developed from managing the political graphics and marketing in Italian elections  to heading  the design and production for The Art Newspaper before setting up his own successful studio producing art publications, posters and magazines. Having spent many years developing his graphic style Gualtiero brings a wealth of experience to his painting. Using multi layered mixed media and utilising his love and deep knowledge of colour and texture his work brings together the power of nature and the abstract in a layered, intricate and satisfying whole. “It’s all about the emotions, big and small, that leave a mark. The tormented background and contrast are part of the build up - in a slow motion - to the actual powerful event." "Just like in real, modern life, everything happens in the background. High and low emotions, the torment and the joy, the agony and the ecstasy, the fear, the questioning, the doubts as well as the certainties, build up and interact. What is shown on the surface is only what we decide to display - the facade - perhaps in a rather softened way so not to upset, or destabilise, or perhaps it’s the opposite of it all and made it so to raise questions or give peace, just as one can decide to do, in the inevitable interaction with the rest of the world, the viewer." With a wide appreciation of fine art, GG is an artist who's paintings combine a distinct  abstracted sophistication with an ability to entrance the viewer with warm but fresh vitality. C.
