OVERVIEW
Agnese Guido. Hair of the dog, SOLO SHOW
“Hair of the dog” is Agnese Guido's second solo show in the gallery. 


PREVIEW OPENING: June 22nd 2022. 7:00pm-21:00pm

Corso Porta Ticinese 87. Milan 20123.

Hours: 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm

 
Guido shows us an emotional and symbolic mapping of the contemporary, at times ironic, at times pungent, revealing a fragmented reality saturated with contradictions.
 
The title "Hair of the dog" -an abbreviation of the expression "hair of the dog that bites you”- is a colloquial expression often used to refer to the glass of alcohol that is consumed after a night out to mitigate the effects of hangover. 
 
It is often said that, in the face of any discomfort, the cure is found in what mimics the symptoms, such as the idea that everyone carries with them the antidote for their own poison.
 
Like a "nail that presses a nail" the artist stages the symptoms and dynamics of contemporary living, to desecrate and reflect ironically on our icons, our objects of daily life, our moods, our progress and our instincts.
 
In Guido’s work on paper "Emotional Map of Late Capitalism”, a series of contemporary folklore icons, the artist shows us the idea of being immersed in a world that is not fully understood, but belongs to us in spite of ourselves and is the result of our memory and our lifestyle.
 
In the works of Agnese Guido, the gap between objects and human beings is blurred and malleable, and it is often present an anthropomorphic dimension of reality, deliberately recreated by the artist to tell human feelings and the additional meanings that arise from the bond we have with the objects.
 
The narration is important to Agnes. Each work evokes a dense story, darkly
humorous and often illusory and deceptively naive. With a surreal and symbolic visual language, her works are both a dream escape and a product of the real world that surrounds us.
 
Agnese Guido was Born in Copertino (LE), Italy 1982.  Lives and works in Milan, Italy

“Hair of the dog” è la seconda mostra personale di Agnese Guido nella galleria.

Guido ci mostra una mappatura emozionale e simbolica della contemporaneità, a volte ironica, a volte pungente, rivelando una realtà frammentata e satura di contraddizioni.


Il titolo “Hair of the dog” -abbreviazione dell'espressione "Hair of the dog that bites you”- è un'espressione colloquiale spesso usata per riferirsi al bicchiere di alcol che viene consumato dopo una serata fuori per ridurre gli effetti della sbornia.

Spesso si dice che, di fronte a qualsiasi disagio, la cura si trovi in ​​ciò che provoca i sintomi, come l'idea che ognuno porti con sé l'antidoto per il proprio veleno.

Come "chiodo schiaccia chiodo" l'artista mette in scena le caratteristiche e le dinamiche della vita contemporanea, per portare alla luce e farci riflettere ironicamente sui nostri idoli, gli argomenti della nostra vita quotidiana, i nostri stati d'animo, i nostri progressi e istinti.

Nell‘opera su carta di Guido "Emotional Map of Late Capitalism”, una serie di icone del folklore contemporaneo, l'artista ci espone l’idea di essere immersi in un mondo da noi non del tutto compreso, ma che nostro malgrado ci appartiene. Questo mondo è il risultato  delle nostre memorie e del nostro stile di vita.

Nei lavori di Agnese Guido il divario tra oggetti ed esseri umani è sfumato e malleabile, inoltre è spesso presente una dimensione antropomorfa della realtà, deliberatamente ricreata dall'artista per esprimere i sentimenti umani e i significati aggiuntivi che emergono dal legame che abbiamo  con gli oggetti.

La narrazione è importante per Agnese. Ogni opera da lei creata evoca una storia densa, cupamente umoristica, spesso illusoria e ingannevolmente ingenua. Con un linguaggio visivo surreale e simbolico, le sue opere sono sia una fuga onirica che un prodotto del mondo reale che ci circonda.
 

Agnese Guido (1982, Lecce), vive e lavora a Milano,

Diplomata in pittura Accademia di belle arti di Brera
