Title Unknown

One of the most internationally renowned Argentinian artists, Antonio Seguí was born in Córdoba in 1934. He studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, Spain as well as the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. In 1955, he returned to Cordoba, where he studied law and exhibited his first paintings. He travelled extensively in South and Central America before moving permanently to France in 1963, where he lived and worked in Arcueil, near Paris until he passed away February 2022 at the age of 88.

At the beginning of his career, Seguí's work was close to an expressionist figuration, full of irony. Little by little, his figuration evolved towards the absurd, constructing a sort of theater, a stage on which a man in movement is seeking his place in the world. Using charcoal, pastels, pencils or pen, he gives life to a colorful and graphic world, which seems to come from the universe of comics, having as a background the whole urban hustle and bustle.
