Alessio Guano

(b 1984, Italy. Lives and works in La Spezia)

Guano's artistic practice; largely autobiographical; gravitates to his relationship with language and human interaction; photography and travel. Painting; collage; artist's books; photography and digital installations are part of his work. Guano collects images from the internet and from of all kinds magazines; takes photographs and collects phrases or lyrics of songs in small notebooks that he uses to create compositions from the most disparate materials. An unpredictable evolution marked by the clear absence of rules; on the one hand; and an organized process o and meticulous; full of consecutive phases on the other.
