Contemporary Art
by Newell GU
Newell GU is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist based in Miami. His work explores visual memory, abstraction, and material presence through layered compositions shaped by urban fragments, tropical landscapes, water, and the atmosphere of place. Rooted in a background in architecture, design, and painting, his practice brings together structure and intuition, precision and freedom. Working across canvas, paper, photography, digital print, and mixed media, he develops series that transform perception into visual memory.
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 French multidisciplinary artist whose practice is shaped by a long dialogue between art, architecture, and design. After more than two decades in architecture, he developed a body of work centered on memory, rhythm, fragmentation, and material presence.
His artworks do not describe places literally. They reinterpret them through abstraction, color, surface, and sequence, creating visual experiences that feel both constructed and instinctive.
From the Studio
From the studio archive, these booklets bring together selected bodies of work developed over recent years. Each series explores a distinct visual territory, from tropical vegetation and water to urban fragments, geometry, and the shifting relationship between the city and the sea. Seen together, they reveal the serial logic of the practice and the evolution of a visual language built through repetition, variation, and memory.
