European designer Guillermo Forchino presents his vision of the modern world in all its absurdity through comic art. It was a beautiful Sunday in spring. That day Dick and his buddy Harry promised to play without their usual squabbling. Everything was going fine until Dick decided to remove a small stone that bothered him on his putting line on the green of the third hole. Harry didn't want to let him do it, but after some heated discussion he finally gave in. But when he removed the stone, a big clump of dirt stuck to it, which left an enormous hole. From that moment on Dick lost his usual concentration and calm. He completely messed up his usually superb swing. It was not because of the two wrong balls he played in a row, nor because of his broken club - a three- wood on the sixth hole, and not even because of the four balls he lost, which infuriated him - but what really got to him was that sneering smile on Harry's face as he sat behind the wheel of that little cart. That grin...was totally unbearable!

| Artist Bio: From the early 1980's, Guillermo Forchino experiments with various materials to create works of art in volume. This research began at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Rosario, Argentina and then continued with three years of studies in art restoration and conservation at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. During his studies he discovered and mastered classic techniques and materials.
After completing his studies in Paris, he returned to Argentina where he directed the Juan B. Castagnino atelier of art restoration for the Museum of Beaux-Arts of Rosario.
It was during this period that Forchino began creating figures made from wrapped bands of cloth where the visible parts of the body (head and hands) were made from wax and paper maché colored with natural pigments.
From the end of the 1980's, Forchino chose poly resins to create figures and scenes that resemble the world of comic strip and cartoon characters. They are typically unusual and humorous subjects such as a family leaving on vacation in an overloaded car with flat tires or a tired, old American pick-up truck from the 1950's.
He has used other modes of transportation such as boats, planes and motorcycles and has even used a bathtub for a military dictator. His characters are always handled with humor and finesse and given a soul.
Guillermo Forchino lives and works in Paris in his workshop two steps away from the Pere Lachaise cemetery.
The Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino is now available for a larger group of art lovers in the form of limited edition, numbered series. Found only in specially selected stores, each piece is identified by a numbered stamp on the bottom.
It comes wrapped in the newspaper "The Forchino Times" along with the autobiography of Forchino and pictures of his collection. A certificate of authenticity completes the package.
