Born in the San Francisco Bay Area to Portuguese immigrants, and now teaching and making art in Savannah, Georgia, Lino Azevado is a painter whose mastery of the medium provokes unsettling psychological insights about the intrusions technology makes into our lives.

Very striking and intriguing work. I prefer looking at art without commentary from the artists or art critics, to allow the art alone to elicit an unfettered response from me. What I see here does not impress me to be about the profit motive, but more a suggestion of the dehumanizing effects of technology. I love the men afloat in the forest. Enjoyed this much.
