The Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino.

Bois de Boulogne, Paris

Dimensions: 38 x 23 x 20 cm

The warm afternoon was perfect for a little game of petanque. Marcel Dupont prepared with care a set of petanque balls; he spit shined them with a soft cloth to bring out their full luster. He put the leash on Sandokan, the old family bulldog and they both went to the Bois de Boulogne where he sat on a bench and waited for his friends. He began to doze off when a deep gasp made him jump. He turned his head and saw a woman of a certain age, cute, well-dressed, wearing a hat which matched her outfit. She held a book close to her chest and with her eyes half closed, repeated "C'est l'amour, c'est l'amour". When the romantic woman realized that she was being observed, she smiled nervously and began to bat her eyes while looking at Marcel from the corner of her eye. Blushing, she opened her mouth slightly and let escape a long sigh. Marcel wrinkled his brow, raised his eyes to the sky, shook his head from right to left, spit one more time on the petanque balls and rubbed them with his shirt. He told himself his friends were really making him wait too long.

The Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino

The Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino was first developed in the 1980s, when 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 portrayed in various forms of transportation such as cars, boats, planes and motorcycles. All Forchino products come 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.

The collection of professionals represent the lighter side of Forchino's interpretation of typical professionals at work. They provide ideal celebratory statues for those who have association with these particular professions - from Firemen to Lawyers, from Doctors to Gardeners, and even a Couch Potato - perhaps a TV remote control professional?
