Contemporary Art
by Newell GU
Newell GU is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist based in Miami. Rooted in a long dialogue between art, architecture, and design, his work investigates memory, abstraction, and the emotional charge of place.
Through layered compositions built from color, surface, rhythm, and fragment, he reinterprets urban and natural landscapes as fields of perception rather than direct representation.
His practice unfolds across painting, photography, digital print, and mixed media, with each series developing its own visual territory.
Presented in sequences of two or three, his works interact like visual echoes, with monochrome backgrounds serving as neutral spaces where layered elements create movement and depth. These color fields act as mental screens, capturing fleeting impressions and memories.
Rather than depicting landscapes literally, NewellGU conveys their energy and emotion, using abstraction as a language for ephemeral sensations. His art invites viewers to engage intuitively, projecting their own memories and emotions into the experience.

Francois Guglielmina, known as Newell GU, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of painting, image, and spatial memory.
Shaped by a long engagement with architecture and design, his practice explores rhythm, fragmentation, material presence, and the emotional residue of place.
Rather than depicting landscapes or environments literally, Newell GU reinterprets them through abstraction, color, layering, and sequence. His works function as visual constructions, where surface becomes a field of memory and sensation.
Presented as individual pieces or in sequences of two and three, his works create echoes, pauses, and shifts in perception. Together, they form a language that is both deliberate and instinctive, rooted in accumulation, recurrence, and the slow construction of visual memory.
From the Studio
These series trace the development of Newell GU’s practice across distinct yet interconnected visual territories. From tropical vegetation and water to urban fragments and geometric forms, each body of work opens a specific field of exploration. Together, they reveal a language built through layering, recurrence, chromatic intensity, and the slow construction of memory.
