About Mattia Guarnera
Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy is a British artist born in 1999, he graduated with a BA Diploma from Camberwell University of Art, UAL, in 2022. Guarnera-MacCarthy’s artistic practice revolves around an exploration of the human condition, employing visual language borrowed from the realms of sports, entertainment and social media as a catalyst for deeper understanding. Fascinated by the complexities and nuances that permeate everyday life, Guarnera-MacCarthy strives to capture and dissect these intricacies through his work. In his most recent practice, he has delved into an exploration of contemporary aesthetics, zooming in closer to textures, fabrics, and figures, utilising perspective and focus to visually romanticise life.
About Mystic Cool
Mystic Cool editions are based on the paintings from Guarnera-MacCarthy’s latest series, Mystic Cool Paintings (2023). Airbrushed in a warm and cold colour palette, resulting in a synthetic, saturated and rendered finish. They mark a natural evolution in Mattia Guarnera’s own practice, and his engagement with the tension between realism and hyperrealism.
Through his artistic lens, he brings attention to often overlooked scenes and moments of everyday life, recognising their potential to evoke compelling allegorical, ideological, and philosophical debates that may otherwise remain unexpressed. By translating photographic images into paintings, he creates a visual diary that captures the fleeting nature of contemporary existence. He strives to offer thought-provoking insights into the consequences of our hyperconnected, consumer-driven society.
Mystic Cool paintings are to be unveiled to the public at the opening of the exhibition held at Tube Gallery on 17 May 2024. His works have been featured in various exhibitions globally, including galleries like The Hole in NYC, Guts Gallery London, Better Go South Berlin and Frieze Art Fair London.
