Gilles Gorriti (B. 1939) Findlay Galleries in Palm Beach is delighted to present French Modernist painter Gilles Gorriti s most recent works. Son of renowned artist Paul Aizpiri and grandson of Ignacio Gorriti de Aizpiri, Gilles Gorriti was born in Paris in 1939. A disciple of the French Modernist movement, Gorriti believes that to establish a certain mood and an emotional response in painting, the use of color is more important than subject alone. As a true colorist, Gorriti is a virtuoso in using the full range of his palette. He creates both subtle, unobtrusive fragments of delicate tones alongside vibrantly orchestrated blocks of color. At the age of seventeen, Gorriti organized his first one-man exhibition at the Galerie Morval. The following year he became a member of the Salon d Automne, where he has exhibited throughout his entire career. In 1962, he was invited to exhibit at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture and that same year, the city of Paris purchased one of his paintings. In 1965, his work appeared in the Fourth International Exhibition of Figurative Art in Japan, but it was not until 1969 that he made his first trip to the country. While painting is Gorriti s love, he is also an accomplished guitar and piano player. Gorriti believes that music and painting are intertwined; they work together to assist in developing the creative process. Gorriti is passionate about Flamenco and Classical music, and when he works in his atelier in Paris, there is always music playing. He also greatly inspired by his ancestry, spending two or three months each year in the Basque country. This is the Country I love. In the Basque country there is life all year. Findlay Galleries first exhibited the work of Gorriti in 1983 in Paris, and has since shown his work for the past 35 years.
