| Carpaneda`s autobiography in portuguese is out now! ENGLISH VERSION IS COMING SOON!!!!! "The Angel in Boots: A life of paint, sex and rock & roll" is the autobiography of New York-based artist Fernando Carpaneda released recently in the US. The book has fallen like a bomb in the Brazilian conservative art scene and also abroad. The book tells a history of an underground Brazilian artist, originally from the suburbs of Brasilia, Brazil's capital and finds fame and prestige worldwide after exhibiting his work at CBGB`s Gallery in New York City. Carpaneda describes in rich details his underground life experiences from places where he lived - Brasilia, Sao Paulo, London and New York, the latter where he still resides- and his relationship with drugs, love e sex. Inspired in music, his life can was conducted from the sounds of Ramones to Boy George. Andre Pomba - a DJ and editor from one of the main rock magazines in Brazil- reviews the introduction of the book as "A very good way for finding out how the Sao Paulo's night life habitants adopted Carpaneda. As an example, Georgia, a transsexual that he met and lived with when he was still a young boy called Henrique, habitué from the 90's clubbing scene in Sao Paulo; as the places they used to hang out: Retro, Madame Sata, Treibhaus and Massivo; and also his love and hate relationship with Brasilia and vice-versa. Carpaneda's life story in Brasilia is something that reminds an road movie, like Sid and Nancy in a Brazilian way - we would say Tupiniquim* - without the tragic ending, although he got close to death a few times. Everything is written in a way that the judgement day might come and that many chapters are yet to come. With no shadows of doubt, The Angel in Boots will disturb and cause controversy to the people connected to Brazil's capital art scene and primary to those with a conservative and prejudice mind. The book brings an exciting thing: the readers will be able to chose two cover versions: one with Carpaneda totally naked and the other with one of his works. The book comes with 240 pages and 26 pictures of the artist's work.
