Gino Guidi

Gino Guidi, as we can appreciate from his works, shows that he has an extraordinary pictorial technique founded, above all, on a solid structure determined by the application of colour. It is precisely through this frame that the artist manages to reach heights of extremely high precision in the details in an exquisitely realistic interpretation of the subjects.  The pictorial layout is proof of the high technical quality of Gino Guidi's paintings.  His touch is soft, made of light glazes through which he manages to perfectly blend the objects in the space in an atmosphere of great tonal coherence.  The light is then called upon to further unify the pictorial surface, giving life to a skilful direction used by the artist in distributing the shadows. Gino Guidi's palette is also consistent with his aesthetics with the adoption of a chromatism of great realism and naturalistic rendering.Gino Guidi was a painter from Livorno, born in 1914 and passed away in 2000.  

Born into a family of artists, Gino felt a vocation to painting from an early age. A highly classical painter, he dedicated himself above all to the landscape genre, drawing inspiration from the current of the Macchiaioli.
