Art Brokerage: Palo Klein Uber British Artist: b. 1951. Palo was born in London in 1951. As a teen he discovered Mark Rothko's work and was struck by the artist's masterful manipulation of positive and negative space. By the early 1970s, he was known for his impressionistic acrylic paintings on canvas, which explored multiple angles of mundane objects through abstraction. Eventually Uber realized that if he wanted to literally present all sides of his subject matter, he would have to find new materials. By mixing his acrylics with melted plastic and applying them to board, he could show the front, back and sides of the objects all at once. Not long after, he started adding French crayon between the layers to explore the nature of the line and its relation to form. The unique process allowed Uber to build a three dimensional object on a flat plane. "The execution of the piece begins with the backside of the object as the first layer on the board," he explains. "For example, the first application to the board would be the backside of her dress, then her body and finally the front side of her dress facing the viewer." Listings wanted.
