Gilles AILLAUD

Gilles Aillaud is a French painter and set designer, associated with Figurative Narrative. He is particularly known for his depictions of animals in captivity – zoos, cages, aquariums – through which he questions the human condition, the gaze, and confinement.

His style, both realistic and meditative, blends precision and strangeness. In posters, his images stand out for their uneasy calm, their symbolic strength, and their silent poetry.
