Statement
Dino Bruzzone's work is a profound and wonderful investigation of Desire. Architect of a system of representation Dino Bruzzone throughout his work reflects on representation and perception, photography, models, peepshows, installations and today through painting in all its splendor he invites us to see and imagine. The sensuality of beauty is structural , in a conceptual appropriation it takes a fetish comic like Archie , an American comic from 1942 that marked the erotic fantasy of an entire generation . A triangle of desire of the protagonists generated in the plot between Archie, Veronica and Betty opens a series of exquisite paintings. Dino Bruzzone, in an elegant and intellectual way, paints with the best pantone colors in each series, and creates a form of optical phenomenon where the point (today the pixel) amplifies the effect of what we see. He, they, he with her, he with them, he in the sun, they in the sun, humor, romance, idealized love crushes, seduction, vertigo, adrenaline, fascination, all those beauties sensations in a sophisticated form of contemporary painting, today in the era of apps and new sexual codes.

El punctum del Deseo
Ella camina, prendiendo fue la calle
La obra de Bruzzone crea sensual y conceptualmente los señuelos del Deseo.
Desde sus comienzos aparecen en sus instalaciones multimedia las referencias mediáticas y literarias del fashion y el fetish , citas de American Psycho junto a fotos de Kate Moss eran conectadas a cables que nos guiaban a estados íntimos de fantasías eróticas, distópicas y techno.
Fantasy, memories, el deseo insconsciente es material en el cuerpo y se encarna en el arte y ahora en las piezas de Dino, según Roland Barthes en La cámara Lucida , citando a Lacan , define el punctum como aquello que provoca la mirada, lo que desencadena la pulsión esópica.
Las piezas de Dino son ese espacio de belleza , perfección, seducción y sensualidad a las que nos llevan estas nuevas pinturas, rosas, sedosas, pinks , sexys . Puntos cuya percepción cromática especifica reconstruye esos recuerdos de diosas icónicas.
Veronica , la dominatrix caminando poderosa sobre la mirada fascinada masculina,
ella haciendo ejercicio, emergiendo de un Splash exuberante, hasta acabar en el puro éxtasis de los sentidos.
Toda la obra del artista sigue el itinerario perfecto de la seducción , la delicada piel de la pintura , el polvo de estrellas del make up , la magia, todo el ilusionismo óptico se materializa en sus maquetas, aquellas inolvidables atmosferas bailables de Freedom , recreando las míticas discos porteñas donde la música y la luz envolvían los cuerpos, sus obras citan a Barbarella , a Valentina de Crepax a Bergman, hoy es Verónica la morena, la inalcanzable, la intensa en todas sus poses ella en estas pinturas va guiándonos a las epifanías de adolescencia e infancia donde el cine y los comics, construían el set del Cuerpo idolatrado.
