Carl Palazzolo
American artist Carl Palazzolo has been exhibiting his paintings since the early seventies, and has sustained a evolving yet interconnected studio practice that often explores notions of memory and loss, longing and desire. Palazzolo’s paintings develop slowly as the artist builds and refines layers, composing subtly modulated colored fields, freehand brushstrokes, and graphic numeral characters. After the artist’s close friend, painter Stephen Mueller, died of cancer in 2011, Palazzolo’s paintings have been personal expressions of homage, appreciation, and love from one friend and painter towards another.
Carl Palazzolo studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Tufts University. His work was included in the 1975 Whitney Biennial.
