The artist Francesco Guadagnuolo painted the work: “The window in the night” which depicts this new lockdown, as a continuation of the previous one, nothing has changed in a year.
[Press release]
Guadagnuolo's work is the chilling perception of the malaise of the psyche embodied by a girl destroyed by loneliness. This malaise causes emotional stress caused by isolation in our homes, becoming an inhuman condition that we were not prepared to survive.
The artist's analysis
The artist makes a current stylistic analysis, introduced in the time of Coronavirus, to propose a configuration and a concept of the human condition, fixed as social marginalization. If you die from Covid 19, one could even die of emotional loneliness. Guadagnuolo wants to tell us with this work, how important affections are within human behavior. The pictorial work renders this moment well through the story of a girl looking out the window at night that becomes a symbol of dialogue between her and the outside where all her thoughts, torments, anguish converge.
The window acts as a transrealist monitor that reveals the silence of things. Opening the window helps her to oppose her anguish of what is falling upon her, recalling the illuminated sign, already known from last year, “stay home”. Often, at the window, she happens to meditate on the disastrous events of a past year, it is Italy, it is in lockdown again. She glimpses the buildings of a Milan that is always almost dark. The computer always nearby refers to an extrinsication to be put down on paper. At the computer she mulls over writing that it has been like this for over a year now and nothing has changed, if anything it has gotten worse.
The media reports these days about the spread of COVID-19 only talk about the English, Brazilian and South African variants that are flooding Italy.
The Mobile Squads of Public Safety come and go through quiet streets in the existing desert area. The capital is off, static, like in other cities, in a world with a suspended area. Every now and then this silence is violated by the siren of an ambulance as a scream that begs for help in the night. Milan is the city that has suffered the most from Covid like the whole of Lombardy.
The malaise of isolation
Coronavirus has brought the discomfort of isolation: this is the pain that dwells in the human psyche in this historical period we are living. This social condition with the deprivation of natural closeness with others is becoming and in many cases has become, a serious disease because we experience a deep inner disturbance that affects the most delicate point of our being: the unconscious. We know that the meeting between people means social relationships that we cannot do without, in working life and in human feelings. In fact, a continuous situation of panic coexists, which causes and aggravates internal conflicts: fragility and loss of the EGO. Even if time slips, albeit to a dissimilar degree, nevertheless the world seems static, incessantly identical, we wonder how long this life made of sacrifices will last?

A year ago, even though there were hundreds of deaths every day, they told us: “Everything will be fine”! But really “Everything will be fine”? We have read and heard it stupidly repeated many times that “Everything will be fine”, someone said it hypocritically, someone took advantage of it to get rich through the pandemic, but in the end, it didn't go well at all! Italy has exceeded one hundred thousand deaths!
