Press Release

The gallery is delighted to present an exhibition by the Italian artist Carlo Guaita. Born in 1954 in Palermo, Carlo Guaita is one of the most enigmatic – but probably one of the most interesting – artists of his generation. Over time, his work has increasingly taken the form of a book: a theme that emerges as a symbolic and tangible presence, and is explored through texts and quotations, material and geological stratifications, and encyclopaedic references. Some sculptures take on a stratified form, as if arising from sedimentations of compressed knowledge, whilst the unique books are composed of drawings, prints and maps. Actual volumes, selected for their references to art history or the natural sciences, are transformed into autonomous works, sometimes enhanced by colour.
