Biography
Ange Leccia
Period: 1981-1983
Profession: Painter Born in Minverviù, Corsica, Ange Leccia is a photographer, painter and video artist. His creations question the media they involve, intertwining and then opposing them in a rhythmic atmosphere. He mainly uses film or photographic images, conceiving his ” arrangements ” as cinematographic moments. He uses Japan, Syria, Palestine and many other places in the Middle East and Asia as reservoirs of images. His poetry takes the viewer into ambivalent scenes where two planes are about to collide
(” Ghost in the Shell”), where materials become sharp objects (”
La Mer”). Since 1980, he has held numerous exhibitions in France and abroad, notably in 2006 at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and in 2007 at Macval in Vitry. A former resident at the Villa Médicis in Rome in 1981-83, he also directed the Pavillon de Création at the Palais de Tokyo and taught at the Grenoble and Cergy-Pontoise art schools.
