About the Item
Claude Gilli is born in Nice in 1938. He enters the School of Decorative Arts in Nice in 1955. In 1957, he meets Albert Chubac and his first exhibition is organized with him and Martial Raysse ("Painters of twenty years" at the gallery Longchamp Nice).In the wake of Raysse, Gilli begins to work at the School of Nice in the sixties. Abandoning the painting to assemblages of constructed objects, he produces - from 1961 - a long series of "Ex-votos”; first work in painted carved wood, this period marks the commitment of the artist to the adventure of creation. The following year, Gilli burns almost everything he has done before, marking his commitment to establish a true starting point.Arman, Ben and Raysse allow him to participate in his first Parisian exhibition (Gallery Henriette Legendre), he makes the acquaintance of Robert Malaval. Gilli, in the early sixties, begin series of landscapes carved wood. The artist engages frantically in the use of the blue color, color found throughout his work. He participates in several exhibitions in Nice with Albert Chubac, Robert Malaval and Bernar Venet, and meets Jacques Matarasso who becomes one of his leading merchants.Arising out of his earliest works, a desire to leave the "framework" of the painting is expressed in his art, desire ever-present throughout his work. In a similar spirit, Claude Gilli performs the "Showcases" cutting volumes in thin planks of violently colored wood. In 1965, he also experiments with his first carved wood "Coulées" which enables him to be successful.Letterings appear in the cuttings of Claude Gilli in 1966, lettering borrowed from the world of teaching. That same year, his first solo exhibition is held at Gallery Yvon Lambert. In 1967, he participates in the exhibition "12 Great Realists" in Venice Gallery Del Leone, where he makes the discovery of the work of American Pop Art (Lichtenstein, Warhol, Wesselman). Gilli starts a new work phase in rupture with the previous period of colored wood, and his first work on transparent plexiglass appears in 1968. From 1969 to 1971, Gilli experiences working with "Snails" which he says have met on the Saleya market (Nice). He realizes castings, snails invading the surface of the table, then watercolors, by the necessity of means imposed by gastropods.The artist settles down in Paris in 1970. In 1981, a first retrospective at the Museum of Nice (Gallery Ponchettes) reveals for the first time all of his work. In 1985, the first steel sculptures of Claude Gilli appear; in successive series, the artist shows landscapes, bas-reliefs of painted welded steel. He also creates a monumental sculpture for the city of Nice. Claude Gilli has certainly participated in the adventure of the School of Nice. His name can also be associated with the affirmation of the New Realism in France.Claude Gilli died in 2015.
