About Herbert Baglione:

“The basis of my work is speaking about the coldness and competitiveness present in people. I like to be ironic about individuality and death, and the paths in which to reach or escape these themes. I find it funny when I walk on the streets and see people with their eyes open but dead inside. This makes me think and wonder if I’m still alive.”

About Choque Cultural:

Choque Cultural (Culture Shock) is a contemporary art gallery based in São Paulo with strong links to underground culture, showing pop, outsider & young art in original style. Since 2004, Choque Cultural has a remained a safe harbor for artists coming from different places such as tattoo art, graffiti, graphic design and illustration. Based in the heart of São Paulo, the gallery is an ever-changing space with a rich program of exhibitions and installations across three floors. Choque has an important role in valuing new art forms, which have developed on the street or from street culture. Its secret is the respect it has for the artists, even if they don't have a conventional professional background, or their proposals are sometimes subversive.
