The
Marble Carving of Fleur Palau
The sculpture of Fleur
Palau is a dialoge in harmony of form. Marble is carved
to reveal a massive and simple aesthetic giving homage to
the archaic classical world. Palau's work retains its own
independence and speaks on its own terms of the human condition.
The natural world as a subject and it's juxtaposition of
volumes is studied.
The white statuary marble quarried
from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany boarders the Tirreanean sea.
The grain is tight and the crystal small giving it a luminous
quality and lending itself to detail and a sensitive surface.
There can be some mineral deposits which create some veining.
The sculptures of Palau are carved from this material.
