Franc Palaia
I am a multi disciplinary artist and since the early 1980s I have been making simulated urban wall works in a variety of materials. Some works are frescoes, free standing sculpture and primarily photography based. I have been systematically photographing and documenting urban walls, murals, street art, signs and graffiti as a source material culled from several countries and cities from around the world, such as Italy, France, Cuba, China, Berlin, London, Sardinia, LA, NYC and others. My walls look convincingly real but are totally fabricated, they look old but are brand new and they look heavy but are feather light because their base material is Polystyrene, or Styrofoam.
Walls are the drop cloths of a society —Franc Palaia
For fifty years, Franc Palaia has devoted himself to his dynamic art practice as a multidisciplinary “urban archaeologist” artist and Renaissance Man. Having received 20 grants in 9 media categories, (painting, photography, sculpture, curating, murals, etc) and bolstering a storied professional career in art, music, theater, performance and documentary projects, Palaia continues to realize a bold and confident body of work that confirms his status as a long-standing badass of his generation.
