Bruno Chersicla (Italian pronunciation: [ˈbruːno kerˈsiːkla]) (10 October 1937 – 3 May 2013) was an Italian painter and sculptor.

Biography

Bruno Chersicla studied at the Istituto Statale d'Arte per l'Arredamento e la Decorazione della Nave e degli Interni (a State arts institute) in Trieste. He realized his first informal works in 1958. In the 1950s he also realizes works on the liner ships SS Aurelia, SS Galileo Galilei, SS Raffaello, SS Eugenio C and SS Oceanic.[1]

In the 1960s he is among the founders of the Triestan group Raccordosei, and he realizes the sets and costumes for the Teatro Stabile di Prosa in Trieste and for the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, where he lives since 1966. The production of informal works is followed from the end of the 1960' by an experimental period in the construction of wooden polychrome structures entitled baroki. In the 1970s the abstract solutions are complemented by a kind of representation of geometrical forms, Lezione di Geometria (lesson of geometry) and later, with the work Spitzenkongress, Chersicla starts to realize portraits in particular of personalities of the avant-garde culture who shaped his identity: Klee, Tàpies, Svevo, Joyce, Klimt, Depero.[2]

In 1982, year of the centenary of Joyce, he realizes drawings and sculptures in Trieste for È tornato Joyce (Joyce is back). In 1986 he realizes some large-scale works that are the symbols of the city of Trieste for the exhibition Trouver Trieste at the Conciergerie and at the Centre Beaubourg in Paris. Shortly before passing away he exhibited again in Paris, in 2010, at Gallerie Barès. From 1992 on he participates to the completion of the Annunciazione Church in Pregallo di Lesmo (Province of Monza and Brianza) with the sculpture of the Annunciation behind the Altar, the confessional and the stations of the Via Crucis.

In 1990, Bruno Chersicla joined the group of artists called “Group of 5” (Canu, Chersicla, Francone, Maggio, Noetico/Walter Noetico) of the Neoilluminist Art Movement, created by sculptor Walter Noetico. For this occasion, he participated with this Neoilluminist Group in a public exhibition organised by the municipality of Sarnano (Italy); the catalogue of the Exhibition was presented by the Philosopher Silvio Ceccato.[3]

He presents a big anthological exhibition in 1994 in Reggio Emilia and in 1997 in the Museo Rivoltella in Trieste. In 2001 he sets a Guinness World Record for the world's largest painting on the Piazza dell'Unità Italiana in Trieste.

Some of his major exhibitions took place in North America, e.g. Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, New York, and Toronto.[4]
