About Guillermo Forchino and His Comic Art Sculpture
BIOGRAPHY: Since the early 1980's, Guillermo Forchino has been working with various materials in order to find the right form for his three–dimensional works of art. These experiments started at the Facultad de Bellas Artes of Rosario in Argentina and were later continued at the Sorbonne University in Paris, which Forchino attended in order to master the art of restoration. Thanks to his restoration work, Forchino has learned to work with techniques from days gone by and with old–fashioned materials such as wax, resin, natural glues and traditional compounds. Back in Rosario, he began to make figurative sculptures out of rolled-up pieces of cloth, using delicately coloured paper maché for the visible body parts. In the late 1980's Forchino began using polyresin for his ‘comic’ sculptures: a series of ironic tableaux that present the modern world in all its absurdity. Overloaded cars en route to a relaxing holiday, military dictators in mobile bathtubs, a variety of bizarre characters – Forchino mixes his sense of humour with a strong satirical wit.
