Antonello Diodato Guardigli - also known as ADGART - focuses all his energy through matter, dedicating himself to the impulsive abstract, an art that comes from the anger and rebellion he carries inside.
Born in Salerno but raised in Forlì in the heart of Romagna, Guardigli has been passionate about visual art since he was a child, so much that he made it a reason for living in all fields. Indeed, in addition to being an artist, he is the Director of the Lombard headquarter of the European Union of Art Experts Association, Deputy Director of “Gianni Bellini” Civic Museum of Art and Territory in Sarnico and President of Galleria DuePuntoZero.
Among his countless works, part of prestigious private and institutio-nal collections, are of particular importance “il Volto Del Cristo”, dona-ted to His Holiness Benedict XVI, the work “150°”, donated to the former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and “la Sacra Sindone”, donated to the Church of Santa Maria dei Barbuti (Salerno, Italy) built by the great architect Paolo Portoghesi in 1971, when the Holy Shroud was exposed in 2010.
A.D. Guardigli also claims several important participations: in 2011 he exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennale - Italian Pavilion, held in Milan at the “King’s rooms” in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele while in 2015, in col-laboration with Expo Milano, his works were exhibited at the Interna-tional Contemporary Art, an event curated by the Italian Art critic and historian Doctor Giorgio Gregorio Grasso.
The year 2016 saw him as the protagonist in the side exhibition of the project “The Floating Piers” by the famous artist Christo with the original work “Omaggio a Igor Mitoraj” and in the prestigious Carousel du Louvre in Paris, with the work “Blu Orizzonte”.
He was a guest of the Armenia Pavilion at the Ve-nice Biennale in 2017 while in December 2018 he donated an artwork in celebration of the “Velolibero” event at the Amleto and Donato Sartori International Mask Museum at Abano Terme (Italy). In 2023, from 13 to 15 January ADGART attended Bergamo Arte Fiera (BAF) and from 9 to 12 March his artworks were exhibited at World Art Dubai (WAD).
