MARC RAMBEAU
Born in France in 1945, Marc Rambeau studied art at the Villa Thiole
(French School for Visual Arts) and at the National School for Arts
Decoratifs in Nice from 1961 to 1963. In 1964, he joined the Robert Boell
Atelier in Toulon where he continued his studies. From 1968 onwards ,
Rambeau’s work took him to the South Pacific where he lived in New
Caledonia and Tahiti,until 1985 when he took up residence in Australia.
In 1989 he became an Australian citizen .
As a travelling artist in 1995 and 1996 , he resided in Beijing for six months . This
stay in China marked a new era for Rambeau’s art , for he discovered the ricepaper medium which he has since used extensively for his paintings,in his colour
compositions , collages and image repetitions .
He used these techniques in the themes he developed in Tahiti in 1997
portraying Polynesian dancing and then again in 2000 in his ”Around the Buoys”
project which captured the colour and movement of the Americas Cup yacht
regatta . In Australia too his work on the landscape of the Outback is known for
its bold simplicity and strong colours .
Rambeau’s Australian studio is located in Ainslie , in the heart of Canberra
