Angela Cavalieri (born 1962) is an Australian printmaker, whose work recreates text and narratives in visual form and was included in the Venice Biennale, 2011.
Cavalieri's parents migrated from Calabria, Italy, to Australia in the post-war period. She studied printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts from 1981 to 1983. [1]
Cavalieri exhibited in solo and group exhibitions from 1984,[ citation needed ] and in 2011 was included in The Venice Biennale, Italian Pavillion In The World Project, 2011. [2] She also won the Manly Library Artist Book Award in 2011. [2]
She has been awarded several prizes and has undertaken a number of artist residencies in Europe and Australia. Her work is held in public and private collections throughout Australia, notably Australian National Gallery,[ citation needed ] The National Gallery of Victoria, [3] State Library of Queensland, Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne and State Library of Victoria. She is also represented in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, Switzerland.[ citation needed ]
Text, language and the transformative nature of culture are recurring themes in Cavalieri's art practice, referencing in particular her Italian heritage.[ citation needed ] Her work has been described as "visually seductive, monumental in their proportions and immediate in their impact" by the art historian Sasha Grishin. [4]
She surveys the art of writing and storytelling in a visual form in a series of monumental, hand-rolled linocuts on canvas as well as producing small-scale artist's books. [5]
Passages from Dante, Petrarch, Italo Calvino and the influences of Italian artists such as Piero della Francesca, Giotto and Piranesi are referenced in her work. The music of the Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) also provided Cavalieri with inspiration, as a result of an Arts Centre Melbourne commission to produce a work about an opera in 2011, the State Library of Victoria's Creative Fellowship (2012-2013) [6] and a residency at La Scuola Internazionale di Grafica Residency in Venice (2015), exploring the city where Monteverdi lived in the last decades of his life.
