Giacomo Guidi is glad to present the solo shows of Duskmann (Prelude), Gerald Bruneau (Andy Warhol's dust), Maurizio Donzelli (Drawings) and Edoardo Dionea Cicconi (Layers).

Duskmann is a movement born from the union of common aesthetic visions to create a diagonal world between art and design. The inspiration moves between a symbolic research and a naturalistic world. The subject of the works is mystery that is unknown and is revealed by some pieces of reality through a transcendental operation, in which the eye sees something else. The room consists in an installation where the works are set up to create joints on the wall with the possibility to divide them. The magic of the union between elements, their possibility to be devided into lines created by an atavistic radial power of the same aethetic origin, like an ideal of big bang.

The creative and private experiences between the portraitist photographer Gerald Bruneau and the father of Pop Art are shown for the first time in the photographic show "Andy Warhol's dust" curated by Agnieszka Zakrzewicz at Giacomo Guidi Gallery from 10th June to 30th August 2015.

In the Hallway of the gallery will be shown eight photographs shot between 1978 and 1988. Gerald for two years (1978-80) was a worker of the Andy Warhol’s Factory, and from this period derives two shoots of Andy painting alone. In 1982 Bruneau returned to Wharol for shooting him. His portraits have the magic of pictorical realism of daguerreotypes of 1840s, that retracted confident and dignified men because of their reached social status: Andrew Warhola (his original name) seated on a chair, serious and solemn. A framing that shows the intere figure in a psychedelic sequence. A blue half close-up quadruple portrait, that reminds the “Self Portrait” of 1963. A total field where in a big dark room the fair face and the gray hairpiece of Andy stands out. In these three works the french portraitist has been able to catch Andy Warhol’s aura, for which many would have paid a lot.

After Andy’s death in 1987, Gerald came back to shoot his house and objects, sold in Sotheby's auction. These series has become today precious beacuse it takes us into Warhol intimacy: Andy’s bedroom, the living room of his house with famous contemporary painters paintings, a little wood horse kept in the basement. Also a slide show life with the reportage of Bruneau about the Chelsea Hotel and the nightclub Tunnel of New York of the 80s. Edoardo Dionea Cicconi supervised the photo editing and collaborated artistically to the project.

A vinyl made by the band The Language has been realized in occasion of Andy Warhol’s Dust show as a sonorization of the works of Gerald Bruneau.

The drawing practice is the intellectual and technical tool with which Maurizio Donzelli compares artistic and philosophical reflection with the themes of image immateriality and temporariness, with its quality as an analogy, or, more in general, of transfiguration and transformation. The poetical elements in Donzelli’s work have always been focused on some key points of the artistic process: drawing, image revelation, the ineluctability of the observer in defining the work, and the relationship between light and color.

In the watercolours come to life a mobile sign, floating, expanding while overlapping itself along the surface of the sheet, thus making the viewer lose any idea of the centrality of the work; in other subjects the drawings seem to be composed of drops of pure color, that condense focusing on the paper, generating new and original images in the approach between the one and the other form.

As regards drawings, a mention must be made for the performances of his Macchina dei disegni which between 1999 and 2004 were hosted in various Italian cities, in Germany, and in the United States; the performance titled Il contorno delle cose at GAMeC in Bergamo, 2003; the show titled La natura delle cose curated by Francesco Poli at the gallery Caterina Tognon in Venice, 2009.

Maurizio Donzelli was born in 1958 in Brescia, where he lives and works. For seven years, Maurizio Donzelli taught Theory of Perception, Psychology of Color, at the Accademia NABA in Brescia. He has also written extensively, including: Spettacolo di niente, Mazzotta, 2003, printed for the exhibition by the same title at the Calcografia Nazionale in Rome, curated by Luigi Ficacci; Lo sguardo del disegnatore, edizioni l’Obliquo, 2003; Metamorfosi, Mousse Publishing, 2012; Maurizio Donzelli, Shin edizioni, 2014.

The artistic serearch of Edoardo Dionea Cicconi moves between symbolism and psychedelia. He presents a selection of new works in the gallery. The butterflies, subject of the works, symbol of beauty and shortness, are captured in different places of the world and deprived early of their short life for a sacrifice: immortalize their beauty with the death.

Dionea represents his universe with the layering, the main theme of his works.

True insects are placed to create, with the layering of glass, caleidoscopic effects that remind, together with the dimensions of the cases, a never random geometry, the one of the nature, represented also in the sacred geometry.

The works represent a universe inside a theca or in a trunk, in wich the insect is the tridimensional point that stands out of the space.
