Jill Gallieni

Jill Gallieni (France, 1948). She develops her artistic work creating cloth dolls and producing notebooks and loose sheets with black or colored ink. Her work addresses themes related to prayer, processing mental states, and desperate causes, invoking figures such as Saint Rita.

Her production is linked to Art Brut and is characterized by a cryptic, illegible script designed to conceal its meaning. Her technique is based on the repetition of superimposed prayers or tight garlands, whose lines unfold in curves and diagonals with their own rhythm. These writings form abstract compositions or figures in the manner of calligrams, depicting flowers, houses, and hearts.

Her work is part of Art Brut collections and institutions such as the Centre Pompidou (Museum of Modern Art) in Paris, the Lille Métropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art (LaM) in France, the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne (Switzerland), and the Hannah Rieger collection in Austria.
