Gino SILVESTRI (1928–2022) - Lot 237

Gino SILVESTRI (1928–2022) Chartres Cathedral, 1959 Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 100 x 120 cm. Biography: A ceramicist and painter active in the 1960s and 1970s, he initially worked in a figurative style until 1959 (influenced by a style reminiscent of Venetian vedutismo) before moving toward abstraction. From 1964 to 1975, he explored the meandering lines of plant forms, then briefly experimented with flame painting in the 1970s, before returning to a colorful exploration reminiscent of Informel and Spatialism. Notably, he served as the technical director for Jean Bazaine’s mosaic project for the ceiling of the Cluny–La Sorbonne metro station.
