Carlo Guaita's Tides, Casts, and Doubles at Galleria Il Ponte

Galleria Il Ponte in Florence presents Carlo Guaita's latest solo exhibition 'Maree' (Tides), featuring ink-on-canvas works from the Maree series, concrete and resin sculptures from the Calchi series, and photographic elaborations from the Sosia series, all created between 2022 and 2025. The exhibition explores the intersection of science, art, poetry, and philosophy, with the title referencing both the predictable natural phenomenon of tides and poetic lunar atmospheres. Guaita's paintings and photographic works create 'total landscapes' that blend map and painting, geography and iconography, using minimalist color to bridge dimensions. His concrete and resin sculptures reveal a tactile engagement with material, evoking geological and scientific processes, with works like 'Atlas', 'Residui', and 'Mappa-mondo' forming a wordless 'cosmological encyclopedia' of lines and colors. The artist's practice emphasizes temporal formation processes and the dialogue between creator and matter, leaving works open to future developments.
