Composition From 2013 By Joseph Alessandri 1940-2017

Modernist composition by the great Provençal creator Joseph ALESSANDRI measuring 80cm x 60cm signed and annotated on the back Born in Tunis in 1940 he took some evening classes at the Beaux-Arts in Marseille before working for 7 years with a master glassmaker that he left to devote himself entirely to painting. His first exhibitions, he did them in Marseille then in Saint Remy de Provence (moreover the museum of this same city preserves several works of this artist), in Lyon, Paris where the Visconti gallery will have the exclusivity, then Switzerland, the United States .... etc ... Is it painting-sculpture? relief-object, Alessandri uses practically only wood as a material. Wood that he cuts, planes, polishes or leaves in the raw state and with which he develops singular pieces which are assemblies of pegged pieces, perforated, plated on kinds of panels. From there emerges 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 next to Prassinos. Good condition This painting of a very creative modernity does not leave indifferent the quality of execution and the spirit of inventiveness of the artist will easily find its place in your collection as well as in your interior
