Guido Vedovato was
born in 1961 in the north of Italy. Self-taught, he progressively became,
in the 1970s, a naïve painter and sculptor, it started as a hobby then he
became more and more professional. His first exhibition was in 1986.
Today, his works
are exhibited widely in Italy of course, but also in many other countries
in Europe, the United States, and Canada. Its paints are inspired by life's
scenes, peoples, animals of the mountains where he has been living for longtime,
and they are made with oil on big-size canvas, with a very original style
which cannot be absolutely classified among any existing naive paint-school
or paint-style. About its sculptures, he has a predilection for primitive
wodden or terracotta figures, raw or coloured too, with shapes ascribable
to the traditional and popular sculpture of the north-eastern alpine area
of Italy. His works is close to that of Dominique Peyronnet regarding the
strange and fantastic atmosphere that is portrayed in his work. The fall
of night reveals its mistery through nocturnal birds and other animals.
His rejection of perspective reminds us of children's drawings or those
of the Egyptians who underlined, by this method , the hierarchical order.
The artist, while highlightings a great number of details, forgets reality,
making his paintings an invitation to immerse ourselves into his childlike
and colourful world. His works are acquired by the following museums:
