Background
Palla studied Fine Art for seven years at the University of Xian. After his graduation, Palla engaged in artistic teaching and research for many years. He feels that artistic creation should be the distillation, the result of a colliding spirit and the physical world. He advocated artistic work, not to adhere to forms of impressions but the forms to yield to substance. The great diversity of Palla’s work is shown through his ability to use different mediums, such as watercolour, acrylic and oil painting.
Artist Statement
“I’ve been searching for a pure art language for many years. In my pursuit I have experimented with quite different styles over the years. Finally, after 20 years I believe that I have found a solution. The painting is not what you paint but it is how you paint it. For the first time, I believe that this current body of work that I will show with Trevor Victor Harvey Gallery has fulfilled my pursuit and given me artistic satisfaction.”

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
