Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy
“By delving into the complexities of the human condition through the lens of sports and entertainment, I aim to illuminate profound truths that lie beneath the surface, encouraging viewers to question and explore their own relationship with the world around them." - Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy
Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy's artistic practice revolves around an exploration of the human condition through a visual language borrowed from the realms of sports and entertainment. Distinctly contemporary in aesthetic, he uses an airbrush technique to create paintings that capture the unique energy of sporting events, paying close attention to minute details and the expressions or emotions of the individuals pictured. By serving as a mirror to reflect societies enduring obsession with sport, his works intent to ignite a meaningful dialogue surrounding the essence of the human condition.
