Biography
Jonathan Guaitamacchi was born in London in 1961.
After graduating at the Brera Academy in Milan, he lives between Milan, London and Cape Town; he collaborated during his training as a draftsman and artistic consultant for several Milanese architecture and design studios.
He devoted himself to painting in the early 90s, creating striking and evocative black and white urban landscapes. In 1997 he presented his first solo exhibition. In the same year he won the "Premio Suzzara", ex aequo, 1997/98 edition. He began to exhibit in Italy and abroad, especially in South Africa, the landscape and its typical bird's eye view ("Target" series) characterize its unique perspective cut and make it recognizable to the general public.
He has numerous exhibitions to his credit in Europe, China, South Africa and America. Guaitamacchi paints landscapes whose debauchery comes directly from the memory that links the artist to the English territory and to the Anglo-Saxon culture from which he comes. The impressive cliffs of Dover or the M25 (London's ring road), thus become real openings, places that continuously stimulate the artist's imagination.
Guaitamacchi works on space, enters the third dimension, depth, and interprets architecture as language, as obsession, as repetition. His paintings are real architectural projects.
He was one of the first artists in contemporary art to approach the urban context, on canvas he does not represent the total or merely architectural expression of reality, he releases its essence, its active principle, he does not narrate the place, but its reflection, its metaphor through his unique and unmistakable style.
