Composition
This work is a pure projection of Emile Gillioli's sculptural thinking onto the plane of the sheet. The artist builds a strict architectural framework here, turning the space into a coordinate system resembling the drawing of an astronomical instrument.The multi—layered, sun-warmed terracotta background is balanced by a soft green core in the very center - the source of the inner glow of the entire composition. By superimposing thin circular orbits, rigid vectors, and dense triangular planes, Gillioli achieves the effect of a transparent three-dimensional structure. The graphic network does not overload the sheet, but disciplines the color, creating an absolute balance between calculation accuracy and light energy.
An architect of pure form.
Emile Gillioli is an outstanding French master of Italian origin, one of the main leaders of post—war abstractionism in France. After graduating from the National Higher School of Fine Arts in Paris, he revolutionized plastic art, turning form into pure poetry of volume. Giillioli was a versatile artist who sought absolute harmony, spirituality and inner rhythm in all his works. His sculptures are perfectly smooth, monolithic volumes of polished bronze, Carrara marble and granite, the monumentality of which is inspired by the Alpine landscapes of Grenoble and ancient Egyptian sculpture. In graphics and painting, the artist revealed himself differently: his gouaches, watercolors and lithographs are filled with expression, dynamic line breaks and bold contrasts. Gillioli transferred the same passion for color to textile art, creating about a hundred abstract tapestries for Aubusson's manufactories, which he called "wool murals." The master's works are included in the largest collections: at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and the Tate Gallery in London. A knight of the Legion of Honor, Gillioli proved that abstraction — whether in metal, on paper or in wool — is capable of carrying tremendous emotional power and harmony of space.
