ANTOINE CAPITANIwas born in Arles in 1993. Curious about the arts from an early age
early on, he developed a particular sensitivity to drawing,
which became both his passion and his refuge when his dyslexia and dyspraxia
dyslexia and dyspraxia disrupted his schooling. Enrolled in an
art studio in Arles, he kept up his sketchbooks and maintained a lively
correspondence, notably with architect Patrick Bouchain.
After college, he attended Eagle Hill School in the United States, where his
his artistic abilities were immediately noticed and strongly encouraged,
leading to a veritable creative frenzy. After being selected
to attend art school in Boston the following summer, he took his own life
on the night of February 7-8, 2012. Today, artists and art specialists
including Pierre Alechinsky, François Halard, Alberto Manguel,
Chris Dercon and Bernard Blistène, are increasingly recognizing
the value of the work he left behind.
