GUIDO DE ZAN

The exhibition held at Natsuko Toyofuku atelier, Figures and Urban Landscapes,  includes works in stoneware, porcelain and graphics.“I read - De Zan writes - that Braque argued that every artist has the human figure as the end of his work. In much of my work the figure is the protagonist, in the vases, in the sculptures, and in the graphics. Alternatively, they are the landscapes, especially urban ones, such as single houses, agglomerates that form villages and cities. I remember the first drawings of children representing the people closest to them and their homes. These figures and houses accompany us throughout our lives and always remain part of our expression. My vases often have anthropomorphic shapes, a front and a back, curved lines to remember the female figure and more angular shapes to depict the masculine one.Instead, my small sculptures, often little scenes, contain characters with more realistic but still stylized forms. Others are lonely figures, silhouettes that reproduce the characteristics of the protagonists in my little scenes.Often these characters live as a couple, family or community in order to meet others and tell each other.”
