Jonathan Guaitamacchi (1961) - Down Town

Jonathan Guaitamacchi was born in London in 1961, and he lives and works between Milan, London, and Cape Town. He earned a diploma in painting from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.

His résumé includes numerous exhibitions in Europe, China, South Africa, and America. Known to the general public for his expansive visions of global cities, urban landscapes, and sweeping views that move from one place to another, Guaitamacchi paints landscapes whose dissoluteness comes directly from memory, from the recollection that binds the artist to the English countryside and to the Anglo-Saxon culture from which he originates.

Among the most important exhibitions of the master we recall: British Black Galleria Biasutti Torino, Galleria Russo, Rome, Milan; Locations, Smac Gallery, Stellenbosch, Cape Town (2009); Linguaggi del mondo, 53rd Venice Biennale, Palazzo Querini, Venice (2009); Jonathan Guaitamacchi at Campus Point, Politecnico di Milano (2010); West Lake International Art Festival, Hangzhou, China (2009); New York New York, Galleria Forni, Bologna (2008); Qualcosa di personale – trasformazioni di un secolo breve, Palazzo della Borsa, Sala delle Grida-Genova (2008); Acquisition and Exhibition “Collezione Farnesina” Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rome (2008).

The provenance of the artwork is from the Galleria Grafica Manzoni, which issues the certificate of authenticity.
