Description
Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Richard Beau Lieu, an established metal sculptor, was schooled in realism, yet abstraction has afforded him creative license.
He is the eldest of four children, born to Raymond and Estelle Beaulieu. He has two grown daughters, and a total of six grandchildren. He currently resides in South Florida. His parents, sister and eldest daughter also all live in Florida.
Beau Lieu's most popular works range in size from two to twelve feet, though his sculpture Liberty, or Victory Over Communism stands at over forty feet and weighs more than seven tons. Finished, but for its painting, it stands outside his studio wearing only a coat of primer. Where exactly the idea for this work came from, not even the artist can say. It is certainly abstract -- as is most of his work, but not nearly as lyrical. The lion's share of Beau Lieu's work, which he opts to paint on primary and secondary colors, are often interspersed with stainless steel and polychrome finishes and fashioned of extremely dense and rigid materials. Several of his institutional pieces are bronze figurative and are dedication sculptures for medical foundations.
His studies in art began in Massachusetts and concluded at Shaftesbury University in London, England with a Masters of Fine Arts degree. In 1980 he moved to Florida and founded Beau Lieu Sculpture Studios in 1984 in Boynton Beach, Florida. The area where his studio is located is known for the scenes and scents of common industry and it is here he creates sculptures and three dimensional, mixed media compositions in steel, aluminum and bronze.
Many of his early sculptures can be found in in the northeast, most of which are located in Massachusetts and the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
As a sculptor he has paid special attention to world events and has marked such events with his work, such as the breakdown of communism in the late 80's, which ended with fall of the Berlin Wall. He created a forty foot steel sculpture called Victory Over Communism. A steel sculpture called Reflections of Desert Storm is located at the Air National Guard base in Westfield, Massachusetts. Reflecting society's move towards spirituality as a means to dealing with social problems, Beau Lieu created a large steel sculpture titled The Spirit Guide, which is located in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
He has immortalized political leaders and famous artists of the past with homages to their significant contributions to their particular fields. Some of these include Marc Chagall, Kandinsky, Picasso, Winston Churchill, Gandhi, and Ronald Regan.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Art is made from dreams, and visions, and things not known, and least of all from things that can be said. It comes from the inside of who you are when you face yourself. It is an inner declaration of purpose; it is a factor which determines an artist identity.
This is a huge floral acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas on heavy stretcher bars. It is in good condition.
