Wisconsin painter, Guzzo Pinc, showed a voracious interest in the visual arts from a very early age which led him to study and copy works ranging from skateboarding graphics to canonical paintings of art history. He majored in chemistry in college but switched to art history at the last minute, a degree that offered little in terms of financial stability.
For the next two decades painting became his single form of consistency as he struggled with itinerance and personal issues. Finally, opportunities began to arise after he was "discovered" on Instagram by faculty members of UW-Madison's painting program who encouraged him to enroll in the MFA program.
After completing his MFA, Guzzo was offered representation by galleries in the Midwest and included in international shows and museum exhibitions. His work continues to become known in larger and larger circles throughout the world.
Throughout this strange journey, Guzzo Pinc has come to respect and be influenced by sources that are considered very "low" and ones that are very "high", ranging from graffiti and comic books to the canonical artists of the Western and Eastern traditions --and it is this blending of such a diverse range of influences and experiences that gives his painting its unique style.
