Jonathan Guaitamacchi's Urban Grammar at Galleria Biasutti&Biasutti
Jonathan Guaitamacchi's exhibition 'Gran Torino' at Galleria Biasutti&Biasutti presents a personal reinterpretation of urban landscape through a zenithal perspective, blending architectural rigor with digital cartography. His works transcend traditional landscape painting, decomposing and recoding recognizable elements of Turin, London, Milan, Alpine regions, and South Africa into a visual grammar of subtraction. The paintings accumulate memories and geographies, featuring deep blacks, lead whites, smoky grays, and graphic annotations that document the artist's lived experiences. The exhibition includes large-format works that evoke Turin's historical architecture, Milan's 1990s economic boom with scaffolding and construction, Alpine vertigo, and South Africa's paradoxical urban planning. The catalog will be presented on Thursday, June 18 at 6 PM at Galleria Biasutti&Biasutti with talks by Francesco Poli and Giuseppe Biasutti.
