Biography of Antoine Arlandis
Ebullient man, impregnated with the ancients and in love with lyrical abstraction, Antoine Arlandis was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1946. He was 3 years old when his family moved to Algeria, then 11 when, in 1957, they chose to leave for France and the region of Marseille (Rognes, then Marseille). From an early age, Arlandis drew and painted. With a strong sense of independence, he trained as a self-taught painter and his artistic school was that of encounters and work on the job. He worked for ten years with J. Roche, a student of Matisse. In 1968, his first exhibition was organized at the "Péano" (a bistroo at the corner of Cours d'Estienne d'Orves and Rue Fortia) in Marseille, which brought together a real family around Pierre Ambrogiani, the famous "sun painters" (Antoine Ferrari, Louis Audibert, Camille Pascal, etc). It was Ambrogiani, who had been living in his studio in Rive-Neuve since 1943, Corsican like the new owner of the Péano, who decided to take over the place, which thus became a "permanent gallery". Arlandis travels and during one of his 14 trips to Japan, he meets Kazuo Shirage and his wife Fujiko, great masters of the Gutai movement. In 1988, Arlandis realized the stained glass windows of the Saint-Mitre Church in Martigues. In 2012, the FRAC P.A.C.A. acquired one of his paintings. The artist discovers the world of printmaking in this same year 2012 in the workshop of Bernard Remusat. Immediately, Arlandis makes the project of first engravings and also of a first artist's book on texts of Albert Camus.
