Biography
Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert was born in Biella (Piedmont - Italy).
She had the privilege of being a student of the Italian Master Pippo Pozzi, painter, engraver and ceramist and of training in Fine Arts in his famous Workshop frequented over time by great artists and intellectuals. It was in this context that she acquired strong artistic skills and this is how her career began. A few years later, in 2014, deeply attracted by French culture, she moved to France where she redefined her style of painting, immediately recognized by experts and appreciated by the public.
From then on, exhibitions followed one another in Paris and internationally in Tokyo, Seoul, Barcelona, Berlin, Athens... in galleries and prestigious places such as Le Grand Palais de Paris Art Capital "The Salon of Drawing and Painting at the 'Water', The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Tokyo and Maru Art Center in Seoul. His privileged relationships with Italian gallery owners in Florence, Milan and Rome also allow him to exhibit in Italy.
Awards and Distinctions
Over the past five years, she has had 51 international exhibitions to her credit, including seven solo exhibitions. She received 14 Prizes in Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo and Rome. This recognition will earn her the opportunity to join the Taylor Foundation in 2023 and the Académie Arts Sciences et Lettres de Paris in 2017, which awarded her two Silver Medals in 2018 and 2023. In December 2022 she became a Cotée Drouot Artist and she has been listed in the Dictionary of Listed Artists since 2023.
Between 2005 and 2017, Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert also wrote and published 14 books in total in Italian and French: literature books, artists' books and finally children's books which she illustrated. She also created scenographies for the theater.
Her Style and Artistic Identity
The Artist works in pictorial series which all explore a central theme: love, dreams, biodiversity, the universe... His works are the result of careful study and in-depth reflection in order to appear simple . They are characterized by a subtle fusion between realism and abstraction in an almost minimalist style. Realism is manifested by the refined representation of its subjects. Abstraction, for its part, is found in the expression of colorful symbols which are articulated in choreographies around characters carrying emotions and ideals.
Alssandra Viotti-Gilabert works with black felt-tip pen to create the drawings of her compositions and with acrylic paint, iridescent pigments, gold and silver for the symbols. It uses hand-brushed 50% 360gr Fabriano paper/cotton or canvas as a support.
Alessandra by Alessandra
I do not want to reduce art to decoration or communication that refuses to listen to sensitive realities. I want an art that resists impostures and simulacra. An art that engages by escaping the impatience of limits. In the era of entertainment and social fragmentation, in this rather disembodied world where we lack the authenticity of beings and the power to act, I consider pictorial practice as a means of recreating meaning in our relationships with similar, to nature, to the world. . I plead for art, without becoming a societal manifesto, to be capable, by representing reality, of thawing souls, of freeing minds and hearts from the protocols that imprison them, of freeing emotions, of questioning the world. . . . , to divert attention and make people feel the secret harmony of the universe.
Her master Pippo Pozzi
The Italian painter Pippo Pozzi, who died in 1999, worked in his studio “Saletta dell'Orso” in Biella in Piedmont. He was a painter but also a ceramist, engraver and art critic. His career as an artist has been very busy with a multitude of exhibitions, of which here is a brief summary. He participated in the Venice Biennale, the 6th, 7th and 9th Rome Quadrennales. He has exhibited at the Galleries of Modern Art in Turin and Bologna but also at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence and at the Milan Triennale. Some of his works, the “100 War Disegni” have been exhibited at the Risorgimento Museum in Turin, “L’Omaggio a Venezia” at the Palazzo Braschi in Rome and at the Atelier in Brussels.
An award-winning artist in Italy and abroad, his works can be found in private and public collections in Italy, France, Peru, England, Spain and the United States.
