Guglielmo Gusella was born in 1952 in Bassano del Grappa, in North Italy 60 km far from Venice. An innate passion for art to painting, drawing and carving came when he was very young. A spontaneous attraction and a strong instinct towards the “handling game” of clay lead him to prefer the metamorphic world of forms during their becoming: the sculpture. The versatility and the variety of experiences in several artistic workshops in Bassano, to give up completely to the manufacturing of different materials and the technical scrupulous observations of melting pot styling worked together to encourage the artist to mark a turning point in his life in 1977: the opening of a studio. During the years of professional and artistic growth Gusella change from a traditional figurative approach of solid realism and of an absolute objectivity to a new language conditioned from a continue and an insatiable search of an expressive, authentic and original personal freedom. His artistic versatility marked clearly from the peculiarity of his works, the recognition and the estimation of artists, masters and art critics inspire him to assume a representative position of a contemporary art both on a national and a worldwide scale. The TV apparitions and the interviews on Italian and European networks, the favourable considerations of local and regional papers, the qualified Italian and foreign magazines, the numberless presences in several showrooms offer to the artist an increase of notoriety and considerations.
