About Dino Paexenos :: From Freshly Diced
An artist with an obvious bad side, living out a dark projected future. Wielding a personality like a slot machine, untethered and free, teetering on maladaptive, with an erratic emotional availability. He creates artwork to be famous but often denies ownership. His art and furniture designs play with problems and ignorance. They are the results of applying poetic solutions to his personal struggles, turning fears into symbols, and lately whimsical, spontaneous combinations created in a chaotic warehouse workshop hoarder setting, and of course obsessive, unfettered, unchecked buying.
