Guido Di Salle - Interview

A great interview to read HERE

Guido Di Salle & SuperRare

I am pleased to announce that my art is now available on SuperRare. What a journey this has been, but I truly feel the journey is just getting started. I have lived through good times & bad, through controversy & praise, and personal life issues that have sent me to the edge of what a human could possibly endure, yet I remain. A wise person once told me: “Don’t worry, and don’t give up. Sooner or later your fortunes will change”

I only wish my father, the one who told me those words was here to see it.

Anxiety & Art

As an artist, I am always trying to give back by supporting other artists. When I came across a non fungible token titled “Anxiety” I was instantly drawn in. Created by an artist that goes by the twitter handle @TrustyNugget the art itself speaks to me on a visual level. Certainly the use of color and the lines appeal to me in relation to my own abstract work, but there was more than the visuals at play here. The eyes of this character in this artistic narrative reminded me of my own battle with anxiety, a battle that for the better part of 5 years has consumed my life. My own battle with anxiety began in November of 2016 and has never subsided. Those that are close to me know the source of my anxiety, those that are keen enough will understand why. The most incredible quality of this painting is the fact that it pushed me to discuss my anxiety, or even reveal it in an open and outright manner, almost instantly when seeing it. Since then it has been the center of many different discussions, with each person taking something unique and touching away from it, for me, reaffirming that creating art and observing art is my escape from the reality of anxiety. This is art in its most true and pure form. I am unaware if @TrustyNugget knows the masterpiece he created or how it has ignited so many different discussions on the topic, but one thing is certain, if art is judged by its ability to compel, then “Anxiety” is truly a masterpiece that needs no introduction. This one piece of artwork has motivated me to become more open about my battle with anxiety and the constant struggle of feeling like a shadow of my former self.

I don’t usually tell stories about my art. Either the art tells a story about me, or the viewer creates their own story. Here are 2 examples of my most recent pieces:

“Binary Code”

“Sunset Blvd”

Guido Di Salle

I don’t know who has to hear this, but here it is (because I get asked about it and I want this to be CLEAR) In November of 2016 I had a false allegation levelled at me, for reasons unknown. I was charged under false pretenses and I was innocent. I always maintained my innocence, despite a false narrative, and subsequently the case was dismissed in June of 2018, and I was found NOT GUILTY. In my 22 year career working almost exclusively with women I never had a problem with anyone, which is a fact, and not a figment of someone’s imagination. The updated article is here. Simple. This false allegation effectively ruined my life. Now please show some support and check out my art here. It is greatly appreciated as I continue my journey making iconic imagery of people, places and things.

Nastia and Sarah for C-Heads Magazine

 

This excerpt was taken directly from C-Heads and can be viewed here.

We usually admire Nastia’s work as a photographer. But this time she switched together with Sara behind the camera. Guido is a huge fan of her photography as well and the creative collaboration turned out into a fun and creamy photostory.

“I always wanted to go to Toronto but had never really put my mind to it. Until two weeks ago I decided to randomly buy myself train tickets and a few nights in an air BnB. I only was able to stay four days because I am still in school, so I had to wedge as many people possible in a day. Photographers, models, people I wanted to meet and things I wanted to see. I knew I had to meet Guido, I’ve been following his work for a while and wanted to get at least one picture of me in his crisp aesthetic.” tells Nastia about this collaboration. “I realised he was friends with Sarah and liked to shoot her and I thought that would be the perfect pair. So we arranged a photo shoot with Sarah and me as models, and then I got time to take pictures of Sarah. The shoot was improvised, unplanned and that’s what I love about it. We simply went with the flow and had fun. Shooting with Guido involved lots of laughter. He was able to respect my constraints and managed to create something amazing with the space.”
