Denis Consolo

 

French artist, born in Nice in 1959, lives and works in Nice, New York and Rome. After a year in 1982 at the Villa Arson, École Internatinale d'Art Décoratif, Nice, France, he is excluded for his troubled personality, he isolates himself to work and carry out his passion through painting.

Following an exhibition in 1987 at the Gallerie Le Vecteur in Vence, France, he moves to Paris "for a change of air", it is there that he meets Christine Louisy-Daniel who proposes him an exhibition in New York at The Emerging Collector Gallery.

From the start, his work is appreciated and finds a connection with the Americans, growing to such an interest that his works are put up for option.

Ever since the artist exhibits permanently in this New York gallery and his works can be found in numerous galleries in Paris, Rome, Nice and the Côte d'Azur.

His expresionist paintings created by his obsesions find a link with the German expresionism and the Bauhaus movement, however the work of Francesco Clemente exhibited in Nice in 1993 has a great impact in him and creates a new path which is still palpable.
