Antonio Seguí

Antonio Seguí

Born in Córdoba (Argentina) in 1934, Antonio Seguí studied in France and Spain in the early 1950s then traveled through Europe and Latin America. In 1963 he represented Argentina at the Paris Biennale and settled permanently in the Parisian capital. In his works, on the fringes of Pop Art and New Figuration, the realism is essential, but it is a “fairy” realism, imbued with the warm colors, noise and crowds of the great cities of Latin America. On multiple media, from painting to photography and from lithography to monumental sculpture, he deals with humor, irony and the bubbling spectacle of urban life, building a kind of theater on the stage with a man in motion frolic looking for his place in the world. A whole gallery of different characters are deliberately simplified, as if to give them more freedom and a falsely naïve and utopian dimension.

STORYTELLER

"I don't pretend to do social speeches, but there's always a bit of that because it's part of me, but if there's no humor, I'm not interested . I was born in Cordoba, and whoever comes from Cordoba if he doesn't have a sense of humor, he is lost…" It is this desire to smile as much as a bittersweet feeling that Antonio Seguí leaves today in our hearts. When I heard the news of his death, it was first of all the sadness that I felt, to know that I will no longer see this great man and formidable artist whose works have always accompanied my career as a gallery owner.
