Erica Cavalli “Allegorie Consapevoli” (Allegories Aware) at the “Galleria La Meridiana” in Pietrasanta (Lucca) from 1 al 10 May 2010

“… Erica Cavalli – so we call for convenience, even if accuracy is Anna Erica Cavalli Beard – presents many words happy or problematic situation today, as it does with his goats humanized witnessing conflicts and seductions, ways of being and think they are the characters of the individual and the community.

These things, pondering, born of reflection, developed with a precise aesthetic rules.

From a single work up to a more general context, namely the location where the archetype of humanity may seem to many very unusual, but the shapes defined by a technical backgrounds and certainly more than welcome, bring us to hand Plastic cargo space chiaroscuro effects and even desired compositional deformations.

Born a suggestive allusion where one or more factors listed indicate many situations of life.

In “weight” we see the character of a family suffers from materiality in a “trilogy” missing dialogue, while in another there is harmony and love. In “Death” we see the fleeting impression of life, his face dramatic now defeated, and the recent “Patience” attests to the rationality of any action where the mental rigor aligns balance.

In all stress points lyric, so that we can think of is the work of Pietro Giacomo Palmieri, Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso and those of animal sculptor Tuscan Sirius Tofanari, authors respectively of “Armento” (1778-1790), “couple with Goat “(1911),” The Goat “(1950) and” The Goat “(1920), and the poems by Umberto Saba” The Goat “and Cesare Pavese” The goat god “and claims that this animal for sacrificial excellence, takes on different values in male and female.

At the time of the ancient Greeks the goat symbolized the lightning was so quick and unpredictable, and appropriate – at this point – the words of the artist that pays tribute … for adaptability in every place and situation, as with great patience. ”

In its issue could still miss the figure of the satyr, half man and half goat, whose popular image has been mostly linked to evil and licentiousness and well matched to the pleasurable and instinctive followers of Bacchus.

Well-defined “Satyr Weeping” and “Conflict”, was set during the first clay weeping not so liberating, but it marks a dark and painful, and the second note a ruthless inner conflict expressed in the faces deforming face .

On the other hand, if the goat in “Too much” and embodies “the animal-man,” defeated and subjugated by the softness of manners, all other good works of this sculptor should be admired for content that stops the eye, stimulating the mind of many of us.

His medium is not occasional, not something temporary for the collective moods or employed by a society that limits and conditions and often massif Art, but the alliance with those concepts according to which “is not a game” but a truth that ultimately connects to life.

The “Allegories aware” tell, express, interpret the ‘I’ of a very sensitive artist who presents to the public with the originality of works made with the heart. Authentically. ” (Louis Gierut) “… Erica Cavalli – so we call for convenience, even if accuracy is Anna Cavalli Erica Beard – presents many words happy or problematic situation today, as it does with his goats humanized witnessing conflicts and seductions, ways of being and think they are the characters of the individual and the community.
