Guido Guzzo: testo critico di presentazione dell’artista
Indubbiamente il mondo di Guido Guzzo è un mondo materico .La sua è una sorta di forza tellurica e potente nel quale il suo dipinto non rappresenta delle cose ma è essa stessa la cosa. Caos, assenza di struttura, materia allo stato primario: il tutto mescolato da colori, punti luce e graffi. I suoi lavori non sembrano essere creati dall’uomo ma dalla natura, dal corso degli eventi, dal caso. Il tempo cambia tutto, distrugge e ricrea. Spesso i suoi sono segni primitivi zeppi di simbolismi, lacerazioni naturali e casuali che attirano l’osservatore. Un continuo “corpo a corpo” con la natura che non vedrà mai un vincitore assoluto ed unico. Rilievi e solchi, superfici ruvide e tortuose che dimostrano una latente inquietudine dell’artista, inquietudine che non nasconde ma che, al contrario, vuole accentuare. Superfici che sembrano cortecce, rocce vulcaniche in continuo mutamento, pietre che definiscono i contorni vitali della natura.

Guido Guzzo, a contemporary Italian painter, inhabits a world of raw materiality and elemental force. His art transcends mere representation, becoming a manifestation of the primal essence of existence itself. In Guzzo's hands, painting is not an act of depiction but a direct engagement with the tangible substance of the world.
His canvases pulsate with a telluric energy, embodying chaos, devoid of structure, where matter exists in its most elemental form. Through a masterful interplay of colors, points of light, and scratches, Guzzo conjures a landscape that feels more primordial than man-made, as if shaped by the capricious whims of nature and the passage of time.
In Guzzo's oeuvre, primitive signs laden with symbolism intersect with natural and haphazard lacerations, drawing the observer into a realm of continuous flux and transformation. His paintings evoke a sense of constant struggle, a "combat" with nature where neither side emerges as a clear victor.
The surfaces of Guzzo's works bear the marks of this ongoing dialogue with the natural world—reliefs and furrows, rough and tortuous textures that betray a latent restlessness on the part of the artist. Far from concealing this inner turmoil, Guzzo embraces it, accentuating the inherent dynamism and vitality of his creations.
His surfaces resemble the bark of ancient trees, the ever-changing contours of volcanic rocks, or the weathered stones that define the rugged beauty of the natural landscape. Through his art, Guido Guzzo invites us to contemplate the eternal dance between creation and destruction, reminding us of the enduring power and resilience of the natural world.
