Mark Del Guidice lives in Concord, and maintains a studio in Stow, Massachusetts. He is a long-time participant in the American Studio Furniture Movement, creating one-of-a-kind artworks that meld the expressive potential of contemporary sculpture, the artisanal craft of woodworking, and the functionality of furniture. His personal aesthetic is grounded in the juxtaposition of diverse woods and surface treatments, a dialogue between two- and three-dimensional elements, and curved forms inspired by nature. All of his artworks include carved surface elements – a system of hieroglyphs that are both symbolically personal, and evocative for viewers.
Mark Del Guidice was the First Prize Winner in 2023’s 87th Regional Exhibition of Art & Craft at the Fitchburg Art Museum.
