Jean Claude Quilici
Jean Claude
Quilici was born in 1941 in Marseille to a Corsican parents.
He attended art schools at a very young age, and he was
already exhibiting from 1958 his first collection of painting of
the town with the encouragement from the Provence masters.
He received many prices during the period of 1960 -1970 and
many galleries around the world start exhibiting his paintings.
The artist is invited to realize during his career of
various projects such as monumental 40 meter long frescos for
the University of Corte (Corsica) and a mural decoration on
enamelled iron a 130 meters length in Marseilles Subways.
Jean-Claude
Quilici’s work owes its strength and uniqueness to his ability
to capture natural light to his canvas. More significantly
however, his work owes much to modern expressionism, which is
embodied and revealed in each of his pieces. Having retained the
lessons of the landscape Masters of southern France, Jean-Claude
Quilici is unquestionably the best representative of provincial
expressionism today.
