Luca Guarino is a multimedia artist working with traditional and digital mediums. He graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020 and from the Royal Drawing School in 2022.
In his drawings he depicts unreal spaces that reflect on a series of quiet conflicts between the internal and external world; a collection of loud thoughts in quiet moments. His subjects are displaced and compressed into uneasy situations marked by a brittle stillness, teetering between the bleak and playful, the anxious and serene. The work can be seen as a system of connections and barriers, whose equilibrium is constantly shifting and settling. Its subjects are at a standstill, trying to connect, or communicate in a reality whose sense of intimacy and immediacy is mediated and obstructed.
