Giovanni Pelliccioli

Giovanni Pelliccioli is an Italian surrealist painter. He was born in 1947 at San Pellegrino, Terme, Italy. When he was eight he discovered art and started drawing. At 18 he began art studies at Carrara Academy of Bergame. At this time he painted realist and impressionist style paintings, but when he discovered surrealism he knew it would permit him to give the best of his artistic expression.

Pelliccioli's work continued to evolve and is often divided into three main periods. The 1st Surrealist period was characterized by paintings whose subjects were mostly inspired by Surrealist painters such as Magritte, Salvador Dalì, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy. The paintings of the 2nd Surrealist period introduce the first signs of Giovanni Pelliccioli's own Surrealism, as he gave birth to new spiritual conceptions and new symbolic object leitmotifs. With his 3rd Surrealist period, the artist introduced some innovative ways of expression. In fact, it is the most creative period of his career, irony is the main theme. This is also the time when the artist started using new materials such as wood, metal, glass and other natural objects (leaf skeletons, stones) that gave his works a new sculptural dimension. The «trompe-l'œil» effect will also be a recurring game.

In 1993, Pelliccioli created a new form in the world of the artistic painting - the "triangle". It is a picture cut in a diagonal with a three-dimensional definition. It is a picture cut in a diagonal with a three-demensional definition. Whether oil on canvas of oil on wood a "trompe I'oeil" sensation is accomplished. A represented subject is half painted (unreal) and half coming out (real). This exclusive idea is patented by the artist.

Since then he has worked as a professional surrealist painter. In 40 years he has painted more than 4200 paintings. Pelliccioli's work is presented in more than 100 exhibitions around the world.[1]

He is listed in the World Cultural Union at: The Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Gallery (London), Galerie des 20 Jahrhunderts (Berlin), the Tokio Kukuritisu Kindai Bkjutsukan (Tokia), the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), the Musee d’Art Moderne (Paris), the Kunsthaus (Zurich), the National Gallery of Victoria (Australia), the National Museum (Stockholm), the Galleria Nacional de Arte Moderna (Buenos Aires), the National Gallery of Art (Hilton of Athens), the Country Museum of Art (Los Angeles) and many others.

Pelliccioli left Italy in 1993 and established himself in France at Antibes (French Riviera). He got his own workplace there. He passed away in 2016.
