Luigi Boille

Born in Pordenone but educated in Rome - at the Faculty of Architecture and at the Academy of Fine Arts - the artist lived for a long time in Paris, a city where he was able to assimilate the methods and cadences of informal painting and where, in 1955, he had the opportunity to make his debut Lucien Du gallery. rand. Through the Paris experience and with the support of influential French critics and gallery owners, Boille was then able to establish himself internationally by exhibiting in the prestigious gallery of Iris Clert (1956), in the collective exhibition curated by Pierre Restany Ou verture sur le future (gallery Kamer 19$7), at the International Festival Osaka Tokyo (1958), at the important exhibition New Trends in Italian Art at the Rome-New York Art Foundation (1958) and, with a presentation by Michel Tapié, at the Stadler gallery in Paris (December 1960 January 1961). It was precisely in this period of closer confrontation with foreign countries that Boille undertook to make his language evolve. From his early works in high paste worked with colored powders and treated with the bas-relief technique under the influence of Wolse Fautrier, he moved on to a more personal style by bringing out from monochromatic backgrounds uninterrupted warps of sinuous graphisms of a neo-liberty and oriental matrix, often colored but even just plain black.
