ANDREA GUERZONI Turin, 1969

Andrea Guerzoni graduates in painting at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Turin and since 2000 he regularly exposes his works both in personal and collective exhibitions. Since 2005 he chooses the aphorism as artistic process: his written, drawned and painted fragments offer ironic, melancholic and tragicomic situations where crying and laughter interleave. His quotes and homages to authors as Alda Merini, Fernando Pessoa and Carol Rama regularly return from many years. The fetishistic imaginary he shows in the recent exhibitions can be considered a metaphor of the special connection he has with his favorite characters.
