One must notice that Gilioli’s work is a remarkable unity: in the form, in the matter, as in the way. The form always turning around the ideality of a egg or a shingle polished. The matter because of the workman he always was. The way, polished, smoothed, to the mirror, that of the craftsman in “the good manners” which he would always be. Gilioli said: “The most beautiful sculpture, it is the sky”. Gilioli or the search of the ideal.

Emile Gilioli
France
Born in 1911
French sculptor.
Originally an expressionist, Gilioli discovered Moor, Giacometti and most importantly Brancusi, and became friends with Poliakoff. He then began to create resolutely abstract sculptures. He worked with materials as diverse as marble, metal, painted iron and polished bronze.
His interest in architecture led him to create monumental works and research into habitable sculptures.
He also created many paintings and tapestries. Cyprus revealed the artist's taste for pure colours used in geometric shapes and strictly abstract orientations.
Museums of Grenoble, Lun ( Sweden), Detroit, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Kansas City, Dakar.
