Geneviève Seillé Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
French, b. 1951

In 1981, she graduated in Fine Art (BA) at Wolverhampton Polytechnic.

In the plastic work of Geneviève Seillé, the word, like a sign, reigns supreme. An object of fascination, only its visual appearance counts and becomes an aesthetic entity. This craze for the formal appeal of the word dates back to the artist's early childhood where she delighted in the sound of the pen dipped in the inkwell then its progress on the paper. Sensitivity awakened, copying lines, words, letters then gives him immense pleasure. It was in 1995 that Geneviève Seillé took a new step by designing her own words, her “dense signs” which she integrated into her work. Linearity and color mingle, giving his drawings a certain symmetry, a certain repetition. It leaves no room for emptiness. Everything is an excuse to fill in, to “scribble” as she likes to say, but a scribble that always harmonizes in the end. In this mysterious zone, full of somewhat chaotic improvisations, the mental fascinations and visual images of Geneviève Seillé come to life. Monstrous creatures, invented anatomy and always the word come together and offer a new way of seeing, dizzying and fascinating.
“We will lead to a world where human bodies can become birds, or fish, or even monsters with improbable limbs.”(Biography provided by Claire Corcia Gallery)

Graphite, coloured pencil and collage on paper
Signed and dated on the back
Unique work
In Geneviève Seillé’s works, the word reigns in master. It fascinates her for its own appearance and becomes an esthetic entity in itself. When she was a child, she experienced an intense pleasure to hear the sound of the nib filled with ink on the paper. Later, she tried to experience this feeling again while creating. Since 1995, she started inventing her own words and was led by her mental fascinations. Lines and colours melt symmetrically and repeatedly. She leaves no place for emptiness. In the mysterious zone of creation, full of improvisations and chaos, she entirely fills the space with all sorts of signs and collages and it all harmonizes in the end. She offers a vision of creatures, invented anatomies and words that fit together and show a new way of seeing, fascinating and dizzying.

At Tunbridge Well
By Agostino Aglio
Located in Middletown, NY
Black crayon and graphite with white heightening on blue handmade laid paper. Adhered at all four corners to a period support, on which the title and an illegible date (perhaps 1815) appear to be written in the artist's hand.
________
Aglio was born in Cremona is 1777 and his artistic talent was recognized early in his life. He was promised a place at the University in Milan by the Holy Roman Emperor, however, his formal education was upended before it even began by the invasion of Italy and Austria by Napoleon. Aglio joined the war effort and fought in a series of major battles near Venice before becoming seriously ill. At the age of about 23 he was released from duty, and traveled to Rome to focus on his health, and landscape painting. In Rome, Aglio studied with the renowned artist Campovecchio. At the invitation of well known British architect William Wilkins (designer of the National Gallery and University College London), Aglio relocated to London in 1803. He made London his permanent home, and married Letitia Clarke in 1805. He enjoyed a lucrative career painting frescoes in the interiors of high society townhouses, country manors, and major London concert halls and theaters. Most notably, Aglio painted multiple official portraits of Queen Victoria...
