Antoine CAPITANI (1993-2012) Untitled 2010-2011 Color print 45 x 55 cm ANTOINE CAPITANIwas born in Arles in 1993. Curious about the arts from an early age, he developed a particular sensitivity to drawing, which became both his passion and his refuge when dyslexia and dyspraxia disrupted his schooling. Enrolled in an art studio in Arles, he kept up a steady stream of sketchbooks and sketch correspondence, notably with the architect Patrick Bouchain. After college, he entered the Eagle Hill School in the United States, where his artistic abilities were immediately noticed and strongly encouraged, giving rise to a veritable creative frenzy. After being selected to attend an art school in Boston the following summer, he took his own life on the night of February 7-8, 2012. Today, a growing number of artists and art specialists, including Pierre Alechinsky, François Halard, Alberto Manguel, Chris Dercon and Bernard Blistène, recognize the value of the work he left behind.
