We first “met” via PM3 as it were. Can you give a little bit of insight into the world of Forno the artist
“Hmmmmmmmm….before doing my Undergrad in Fine Arts, my work was an exploration into the pitfalls of Consumerism. This idea of stripping away the ego that mass media target and continually cascade in front of us. The usual “you need this, want this and are not whole without it”.
Inspired by the likes of Ben Frost, Fairey, Banksy & Ron English, I firmly believe that there is a therapy in art, so I gradually flogged myself through Undergrad, shifted more to my own personal history, my childhood, exploring psychology, ego, memory, Gestalt Principles, items of nostalgia and of course POP Culture. I’m a POP culture kid through and through.
I believe if I have experienced something in my life, then someone else has more than likely experienced something similar. Through the medium of art I hope to raise questions for the viewer and encourage self exploration. But sometimes it just looks aesthetically pleasing.”
