Alain Chivilò

Alain Chivilò or Chivilo in art and culture is a living Italian contemporary curator, critic, journalist and writer based in Italy with collaborations outside his home country. Since the 1990s, Alain Chivilò has developed his first interests and insights into culture and particularly visual arts. The university education was divided into materiality and abstraction in the specializations of business administration and art history. The culture of the city of Venice was a source of inspiration and a starting point, while also broadening Chivilò's own culture. In particular, a group of figurative painters focused on landscape, nature, still life and portraits such as Marco Novati, Eugenio Da Venezia, Neno Mori, Carlo Dalla Zorza, Fioravante Seibezzi, Aldo Bergamini, Gigi candiani, Cosimo Privato and Mario Varagnolo opened his sensitivity to art more. In this context the art monographs Gigi Candiani Tessere di vita, Marco Novati Volti Vissuti and Gigi Candiani Atmosfere Rarefatte triggered a debate about the importance of these figurative artists in modern Italian art. Examining the professional path of Alain Chivilò, in art criticism a sort of deep expressive simplicity emerges that should not be confused with banality, while in the organization of events a constant research is placed. In press, as freelance journalist, he writes for various national and international newspapers and magazines, interviewing artists as for example Sir Anthony Caro, Marc Quinn, Shozo Shimamoto, Hermann Nitsch, Jacques Villeglé, Fabrizio Plessi, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Riccardo Licata, Eugenio Carmi, Achille Perilli, Luca Alinari, Alberto Biasi, Xu Deqi, Helidon Xhixha. In June 2017 all these art contacts, that involved him, have been published in a book. In summary, interviews, reviews of cultural events, critical texts and presentations of modern and contemporary artists are important steps for a real critical examination. Yesterday as today as per events and news, Alain Chivilò continues his activity in art and culture promoting with seriousness and professionalism.
