Guido De Bonis - Full moon fishing

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

Guido De Bonis's entire artistic output is aimed at reworking nature into fantastical forms. This primarily involves the subject matter, where the elements appearing are plausible, but their arrangement, proportions, and the space in which they are contained are implausible. Thus, even the colors, which disregard the phenomenological truth and adopt very aggressive hues, have strong references to Expressionist art. Formally, De Bonis also stands out for his highly synthetic application of technique, which further enhances the painter's expressive vigor.

Guido De Bonis was born in Turin in 1931. Together with the artists Italo Cremona, Raffaele Pontecorvo, Mario Molinari, Kiki Macciotta, Lamberto Camerini, Dionisia Goss and Anna De Rossi he gave life to an important artistic experience of a surreal and fantastic nature in the Piedmontese city.
