FRENCH INSPIRATIONS
Meunier’s Vibrant Fauvist Works on Display
Atlanta, Ga. – July 10, 2012 – Celebrating France with vibrant strokes of the palette knife, R. Alexander Gallery is pleased to present the works of French artist Monika Meunier in a month long exhibition, September 5th – 28th.
Monika Meunier was born on the MediterraneanCoast in May 1947. At the age of two, her family relocated to Paris (France), where Meunier was raised. Growing up, her close family provided her with artistic inspiration seeing that she had aunts and uncles who hailed as musicians, painters and photographers. By studying their works, Meunier was able to discover how to compose deep meaningful paintings that capture nature’s true essence.
Meunier’s works present collectors with idealized versions of the beautiful region which surrounds her studio. Towering amid cypress and olive trees, are the local sights that inspire her constantly. She brings her landscapes to life with scenes – the sun is always shining and the flowers always in bloom. Meunier uses only oil paints and carefully applies them to canvas with her palette knife. She has a distinctive style that presents landscapes in sweeping texture and vibrant colors – rich red earth, the bright violet lavender fields and the calming blue coastal waters.
