Superb and creative painted panel made with superimposed cutouts of cardboard and wood dimensions 121cm high by 82cm, thickness 12cm signed on the back Born in Tunis in 1940 he took some evening classes at the Beaux-Arts in Marseille before working for 7 years at a Master glassmaker whom he abandons to devote himself totally to painting. His first exhibitions, he made them in Marseilles then in Saint Remy de provence (moreover the museum of this same city preserves several works of this artist), in Lyon, Paris or the Visconti gallery will have the exclusivity, then Switzerland, the United States....etc... Is it painting-sculpture? relief-object, Alessandri practically only uses wood as a material. Wood that he cuts, planes, polishes or leaves in its raw state and with which he develops singular pieces which are assemblies of pieces pegged, perforated, veneered on sorts of panels. From there arises a whole fantastic world of characters and beasts that have the magical side of African Art. Friend of Louis Pons he will live in Eygallières alongside Prassinos.
