MARK GUGLIELMO (b. 1970, Queens, New York) is a contemporary artist based in Western Massachusetts who creates layered figurative paintings exploring themes of identity, migration, and power. Guglielmo’s practice connects with his background in hip-hop, treating collage as an extension of sampling—truncating and reconfiguring existing materials into new compositions.
Major projects include Portraits of My People (2021-2025), life-size collage portraits honoring his Southern Italian lineage while examining the complexities of race and belonging in America, and Cubaneo (2015-2019), large-scale photo-collage portraits created during three trips to Cuba.
Solo exhibitions include the United Nations, New York; Loveland Museum, Colorado; and Vermont Center for Photography. As rapper/producer Vesuveo, he collaborated with Eminem on "Green and Gold" and contributed music to Beavis and Butt-Head, Pimp My Ride, and Jersey Shore. He studied at the Université de Paul Valéry in Montpellier, France, and holds a BA in History from Haverford College.
