Biography
Αntonio Segui, was born in Cordoba, Argentina in 1934. Segui he lives and works in Paris. He spends his time between Paris and Buenos Aires.
After he finished his studies at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he traveled through Africa and Latin America, these places have enhanced his multicultural perceptive capturing the life of contemporary urban culture.
A study of the elements which make up his work would show us that there is not one but several stories, a kind of record of contemporary social reality and artistic developments. Since the mid-60's Segui wished to express the present, using elements of Pop Art (mainly photography) and 'Figuration Narrative' - where elements from the everyday life, autobiography, mythology and sociology are being used - always maintaining though his core subject, the human nature.

The paintings of Antonio Segui undoubtedly forms part of the expression of the contemporary urban world. The artist is rightly described as the painter of cities. Especially after 1980, cities in his work appear in series, making up sequels as well as self-contained stories.
Central figure in Segui's work is Gustavo. This male figure attests to the influence of Argentinean tradition and reflects the exploits of Buenos Aires' first inhabitants, the legendary Gauchos. These people with the identical faces-masks part of the city, mixing with every dark corner of it. The artist realizes the only way to survive is with a sense of humor and self-sarcasm.
