| Fleur Palau, Italian trained
painter and sculptor lives and works in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire,
USA. Palau’s mediums as a painter include,
oil and pastel. The work is figurative and realist with an emphasis
on color and light and the study of form. The landscape series set
in Italy are strong and original in vision. The focus is on a portrayal
of the rural landscape, fast diminishing in the expansion of the
modern world.
Palau’s sculptures are a study in relationships
through a study in form. This series of new carvings in marble reveal
the tension and compromise present in all things. The richness of
form is enhanced by the beauty and luminosity of the Statuary Marble.
Palau offers workshops in landscape painting and stone carving during
July and August in Italy every year. The workshops take place near
her home in the hills of Northern Tuscany, where she has lived and
worked for 17 years. The courses include on site demonstrations
and visits to the quarries.
Palau’s work is currently exhibited in Italy
and the USA. |
