Alain Chivilò

Alain Chivilò Pop Art Version

Alain Chivilò based in Venice and Milan is an Italian contemporary art curator, critic and writer. He began his studies on art during childhood by lessons of Master Eugenio Da Venezia, teacher at Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, starting from a post-impressionistic figurative way of expression generated by a group of modern artists working before and world war II in Italy. More research on contemporary art education has been done in cities such as London, Paris, Madrid as well as Milan and Rome.

In Venice he is one of the last artistic director to defend a nineteenth century masters group characterized by exploring nature, still life and portraits (Marco Novati, Eugenio Da Venezia, Neno Mori, Carlo Dalla Zorza, Fioravante Seibezzi, Cosimo Privato, Mario Varagnolo for example). In this context the art monographs “Gigi Candiani Tessere di vita”,[n 1] “Marco Novati Volti Vissuti”[n 2] and "Gigi Candiani Atmosfere Rarefatte"[n 3] triggered in Italy a debate about the importance of these figurative artists in modern Italian art history. [n 4]

As freelance writer he is collaborating with magazines as Art Review, Drawing, Art Style, Art Calling, Art&trA. During his career Chivilò interviewed artists as for example Sir Anthony Caro, Marc Quinn, Shozo Shimamoto, Hermann Nitsch, Jacques Villeglé, Fabrizio Plessi, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Riccardo Licata, Eugenio Carmi, Rabarama, Achille Perilli, Luca Alinari, Alberto Biasi, Xu Deqi, Helidon Xhixha. For the end of 2016 all these art contacts, involved him, will be published in a new book: "Tracce Segni Macchie Bruciature Concetti Scatti Tagli Buchi".

As art critic a simplicity of expression (not banality) is a fundamental feature of his texts. [n 5] As art curator fundamental are the collaboration with Italian critics, for example Giovanni Faccenda and Vittorio Sgarbi. He has also organised exhibitions at Villa Pisani, Stra (Venice), Casa dei Carraresi (Treviso) and in other different Italian locations as Milan and Rome.

From 2013 to 2016 he studied and analyzed the ignorance and lack of communication within the culture by geographic area in a project called Quod erat demostrandum. It was a sort of global provocative act denouncing the current strength of commonplace generated by a culturally superficial society. The resuls will be published at the beginning of 2017.
