António Segui, an internationally recognized artist, was born in Argentina in 1934 and has been based in Paris since 1963. In his artwork, particularly in these recent screenprints, he poetically characterizes and subtly ridicules the various types of urban man, an articulated mannequin imprisoned within the narrow confines of his world.

With a keen eye for detail and a touch of irony, Segui captures the essence of city life, exploring the complexities and limitations of existence within an urban environment. Through his art, he invites viewers to reflect on their own roles within society and the constraints that often define their daily lives.

These serigraphs showcase Segui's mastery of color and composition, as well as his ability to convey a message through visual storytelling. Each piece tells a unique story, revealing the artist's deep understanding of the human condition and his ability to translate it into captivating visual imagery.

By juxtaposing elements of humor and critique, Segui challenges conventional notions of identity and conformity, creating thought-provoking artwork that engages and captivates the viewer. His unique artistic style and profound insights make him a true master of his craft, and his work continues to inspire and resonate with audiences around the world.

Antonio Seguí

Born in Córdoba, Argentina, on January 11, 1934, this artist completed his studies in Painting and Sculpture in Spain and France. Their first solo exhibition in Argentina took place in 1957. Throughout the year 1958, they traveled extensively through South and Central America, and in 1963, they permanently moved to Paris. Over the course of their career, they have presented numerous exhibitions in Europe, the USA, Japan, and Latin America. Their works, influenced by the Neo-Figuration movement of the 1960s, reflect a strong social satire. In the 1980s, the artist created a character - Dr. Gustavo - who became a prototype of the alienated man in the urban world and a recurring figure in their work, embodying their ironic perspective on contemporary daily life. The artist has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide, and their work is represented in various private and institutional collections, making it a part of the holdings of many museums in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. They have been honored with several important awards, starting from 1957 until the present day.
