The ethereal bronze sculptures of
Imogen Palmer combine the qualities of classical elegance with
contemporary style. Despite the gracious lines and traditional
choice of medium, these exquisite figures call to mind the modern
beauties of the new millennium rather than the more formal artistic
figures of a bygone age. Imogen was born in London in 1980 into a
world dominated by art. Her mother was a talented painter and
sculptress who worked only to private commissions for her own
pleasure, spending most of her time with her three young children.
Her father was a music historian, and the family spent many happy
summers travelling around Europe attending concerts and opera, and
learning about the world. While her brothers were shepherded around
scores of galleries, protesting all the way, Imogen was mesmerised
by the art she was shown in the Uffizi, the Prado and the Louvre,
and her artistic education was given a strong foundation. Imogen now
divides her time between Paris and London, and her work is shown in
galleries and private collections across Europe. |
