Shhh! I have a secret for you but don’t repeat it: [Tilo Lagalla](https://www.nicepremium.fr/article/thierry-lagalla-fait-son-show-ce-soir-a-nice.207.html), one of the most “Nissart” of contemporary artists from Nice was born in… Cannes!!!
It was on January 23, in the “grasse” year of 1966 that the double P “Pailhassou Pintre” arrived in a world that he would first study before reproducing it for us in videos, canvases, and drawings.
As a folkloric visual artist and videographer, he shows himself, exposes himself, performs, manifests, and takes risks in video stagings that are more amusing and astounding than the next. It can be said of Lagalla that he partakes of the vein of Pierrick Sorin, Joël Bartoloméo, or Serge Comte. But beware, for Tilo Lagalla manages in a completely incongruous way to dispel the sacrosanct Duchampian fantasy that brazenly haunts the corridors of contemporary art. Indeed, it is with subtlety and skill that he succeeds in making humor and burlesque coexist. He is an activist of the
real.
This reality that constitutes the Lagalla vein, we find it in his drawings and in his paintings. Sometimes derived from videos, they are a return to the static image, to the original “Pantaï”
of the Lagalla universe. The line is simple, clean, it avoids any formal chatter to offer the viewer the image of the essential reality of art, that of creation.
