Fernando Carpaneda clay sculptures a book published by the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation
English/Portuguese bilingual book
Brazilian born Fernando Carpaneda shares his off-the-wall viewpoints of numerous topics,including punk movement,fashion,skinheads,religion,fame,creating art, and sex. The book represents one of the most important contemporary sources on Gay and Latin America Lowbrow Art scene.
Born in Taguatinga, a small city in the capital of Brazil, Fernando participated in the genesis of this countries punk movement. During this time, he was arrested several times for minor disturbances and it was then when he discovered his passion for sculpting.
He is an incredible clay sculptor. His themes are of the human form in its normal activities. Let me put it in his own words:
“I make portraits of rent boys, punks, junkies, thieves and outcasts... Instead of attaching myself to muses, I focus on male nudes to compose my art pieces, having the human being, the masculine, as my main goal in my work. All my portraits are like a relic, a holy place, a moment caught in time. I use objects that have a connection to the portrayed person to composing my work, such as cigarette butts, condoms, beer cans, underwear, semen, and empty toothpaste boxes. In other words, things that are part of these people's real world, and my own. I use such objects and remains as a beginning for my portraits”
The absolute realistic miniature sculptures are rapturous and amazing. I was stunned. The talent of Fernando’s eye is only matched by the execution with his hands bringing forth creations that will threaten your idea of real and imaginary. Surrealistic reality based construction brought to staggering heights. Every sculpture included in the book is amazing. He makes a difference in Gay and Lowbrow Art scene, more than most artists these days.
