Biography
Marco Palmieri’s practice is concerned with the “poetics of availability”, the artist employing a visual lexicon of simultaneous grace and banality to communicate images of luxury familiar to most from package holiday brochures. The charm of Palmieri’s works lies in the fleeting, private poetry of its gestures towards familiar images: palm trees, seashells and Grecian busts distilled in intimate shorthand. In this moment of playful connection these forms are removed from the fantasies projected by the tourist industry and imbued with an idiosyncratic liveliness. Marco Palmieri graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2011 with a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art, having previously studied at the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury.
