William Baglione, brother of famed Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione, shared this clip of Herbert at work on his recent trip to San Francisco. The video coincides with Herbert Baglione’s solo show, The Dark Wave, at FIFTY24SF Gallery and gives us a glimpse into the haunting characters and impressive technique that are Baglione signatures. The Dark Wave is showing until January 28, 2010 and sketches and paintings are available for sale online, while the new video is available on Walrus TV.
Herbert Baglione “The basis of my work is speaking about the coldness and competitiveness present in people. I like to be ironic about individuality and death, and the paths in which to reach or escape these themes. I find it funny when I walk on the streets and see people with their eyes open but dead inside. This makes me think and wonder if I’m still alive.”
