Guido Guidi 1941

Lives in Italië. Works in Italië.

Represented by:

Galerie Wouter van Leeuwen

Guido Guidi (born in 1941, in Cesena, north-eastern Italy) had originally wanted to be an architect or a painter, but during his studies at the University of Venice he began to develop an interest in photography. By the mid-1960s he had devoted himself entirely to photography. Guidi directs his camera towards urban architecture, industrial landscapes, and periurban environments in an entirely original way. His approach is poetic and attentive, and could also be said to be descriptive in nature.

Duo exhibition 'Guido Guidi & Gerry Johansson: Diachrony at Galerie Wouter van Leeuwen

The duo exhibition 'Guido Guidi & Gerry Johansson: Diachrony' is currently on show in Galerie Wouter van Leeuwen (until 29 August). The power that many artists have is that they can make you look more intently at the (beauty of the) objects that surround you. In the case of these two photographers, they want to guide your gaze to places and objects that have been created or touched by human hands, but in these photos they are characterised by an absence of human beings: for example in the form of a tied vine or a weathered building or sculpture. These photographers tell a story without people, words or context. After all, photography literally means "writing using light”.
