205 W 20th St Fulvia Zambon Jolie going to Work |  Fulvia Zambon Sidecar to Superga |
Fulvia Zambon creates scenarios of a strange childhood that occurs in an obscure setting and time. Using objects and memories associated with children and childhood the artist shares a fantastical story with the viewer.
In "Sidecar to Superga" the artist uses the carriage as a vehicle for travel and "Fire on the Riverbank" (not pictured) you find the baby carriage being used as a boat, both for means of transportation. In "Jolie going to Work" the carriage is used as a tool for work. These compositions combine still life paintings, landscapes and photographs. Fulvia's training as a portrait artist enables her to paint accurate faces and, at the same time, create her fantastical work. Influenced by many of the Old Masters during her training as a classical painter and sculptor, Fulvia has also been inspired by contemporary sources in developing her unique and recognizable way of painting.
Fulvia attended the Accademia Albertina in Turin and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan where she studied drawing the nude as well as sculpture with Lydia Silvestri. She also studied portrait painting for three years with Ronald Sherr at the Art Students League in New York. In addition, she is a recipient of The Jean Gates Grant 2007. Fulvia was also one of 18 artists invited to participate in a solo show at Turin Art Gallery (TAG) in conjunction with the opening of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. Seven oil paintings, including two large works, will be on exhibit until February 2, 2008.
