Alain Chivilò

Alain Chivilò started his art formation around a post-impressionistic figurative way of expression generated by a group of modern artist working before and after II world war in Italy. Now Chivilò research is on contemporary art. He is an Italian contemporary art curator, critic and writer based in Venice and Milan.

In the Serenissima city, Venice, he is the last artistic director to defender a Nineteen century masters group characterized by exploring nature, still life and portraits (Marco Novati, Eugenio Da Venezia, Neno Mori, Carlo Dalla Zorza, Fioravante Seibezzi, Cosimo Privato, Mario Varagnolo for example). In this context the art monographs “Marco Novati Volti Vissuti” and “Gigi Candiani Tessere di vita” triggered in Italy a debate about the importance of these figurative artists in the modern Italian art history.

As free lance journalist, accredited in Italian publicists register, Alain Chivilò is writing for the most important Italian magazines. During his career he interviewed the most important international artists as for example Sir Anthony Caro, Marc Quinn, Shozo Shimamoto, Hermann Nitsch, Jacques Villeglé, Fabrizio Plessi, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Riccardo Licata, Eugenio Carmi, Rabarama, Achille Perilli, Luca Alinari, Alberto Biasi, Xu Deqi, Helidon Xhixha. During 2016 all art contacts, involved him, are published in a new book.

As art critic a simplicity of expression, that does not mean banality, is a fundamental feature of Chivilò texts. As art curator fundamental are the collaboration with Italian critics as for example Giovanni Faccenda and Vittorio Sgarbi. Chivilò, has also organised exhibitions at Villa Pisani, Stra (Venice), Casa dei Carraresi (Treviso) and in other different Italian locations as Milan and Rome.
