The Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino European Designer Guillermo Forchino presents his vision of the modern world in all its absurdity through comic art. His eclectic range of automobiles, planes and motorcycles combine the artist's clever sense of humor with a strong satirical wit.

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. In 1994 Forchino was commissioned to make a life–size mural depicting a traffic jam for the Remolins Zamora collection in Andorra. Since 1980 Forchino has regularly held expositions in France, Argentina and New York. Guillermo Forchino lives and works in his studio near the Père–Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
