Joy Is a Paysage
Newell GU builds his work from a single material: the light of Miami. Not light as subject, but light as agent, the force that saturates color, dissolves contour, and transforms what is seen into what is remembered.
Working across painting, photography, digital print, and mixed media, he develops series that move between chromatic intensity and formal economy, between the explosive presence of tropical vegetation and the silence of pure color fields. Each work is conceived as a space to be inhabited, layered, rhythmic, revealing new depths with each encounter.
His practice bridges painting and architecture, color and memory, the immediate sensation and its slow accumulation into image.
Newell GU
François Guglielmina, known as Newell GU, is a French multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, 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 place literally, Newell GU reinterprets it 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.
Works held in private collections, Miami.
WORKS
These works trace the development of Newell GU's practice across distinct yet interconnected visual worlds. From tropical vegetation and water to the light and atmosphere of Miami, each body of work opens a specific field of perception. Together, they reveal a language shaped by layering, rhythm, chromatic intensity, and the slow construction of memory.
