Dimas Forchetti

In my opinion, modern Brazilian art has done the best job, as a genre, of serving as a link to historical european art, while still pushing the envelope and creating new aesthetics within the subtext of an otherwise classical feel. Herbert Baglione is a keynote example……(They Paint Their Mind.)

I don’t remember how I got into Dimas Forchetti, but the dude is on point. He has one foot on either side of the historical divide – one planted in the roots of the lineage of amazing cubist and expressionist painters, and one testing the limits of the present by moving art forward into the future. I feel familiarity with the human-ness of his characters, yet a soothing otherworld-ness also.
