Carlo Guidetti I (2013) Photography by Guidetti

Carlo Guidetti is a highly skilled Italian artist whose work has been exhibited and awarded internationally. Born in Modena in 1949, Guidetti is a professional engineer who over the years has developed his skills as both a digital and analogue artist. In the early 1980s he embarked on an extensive research of visual image and form as representation and reflection, analysing life throught creation and invention. Guidetti does not aim to reproduce reality per se, like a reporter; he is hermeneutic, in that he captures images with the eye of one whose mind can observe and interpret them with incredible innovation. Through his photographic lens he scrutinizes and pierces the object, and then tells something new, that goes beyond the initial perception. The object is extrapolated from reality, placed beyond space and time in order to create a state of knowledge that after an initial intuition transports the viewer to another dimension, where it establishes a context of correspondence between the objective state and subjective feelings. The artist’s engineering background and his creative ability are the elements that make his work so unique in its representation. These are simple things such as cars, large squares, night scenes, skyscrapers, aerial perspectives almost overhanging or even the abstract play of light.  It is clear that his art delves deeper, managing to create an ideal match between the world as it is and the his intellectual understanding of it.
