FRÉDÉRIC GALLIANO

Born in Grenoble in 1969, Frédéric Galliano lives and works in Valence and Paris. He graduated from the Valence art school (École de Sculpture) in the south of France in 1992, and immediately set up his own studio. For two years, the artist continued the work he had begun a few months before graduating. It was during this time that he discovered the world of clubbing, dj-ing, electronic music and New York house in particular. Completely impressed by this innovative, fresh, socially underground and avant-garde music, the artist found a relevant creativity in it. Building a successful musical career, his debut album “Espaces Baroques” earned him an international reputation as an unprecedented blend of jazz, live music and electronic work. The artist embarked on years of world touring while simultaneously producing a dozen albums of contemporary African acoustic music.

In 2012, he took the bold decision to return to the world of contemporary art, immediately starting to produce again as a sculptor. Part of this practice, as a “producer”, is curating exhibitions. Between 2013 and 2021, the artist organised around twenty exhibitions at the Vitrine-65 gallery in Paris.
