The Artwork:

In recent years the AdalgisArt Tapestries have been exhibited in many fairs and selected at several Art Competitions. They were selected in 2019 for Paratissima Torino, for L'altra Capo del Filo for a project with artists who express themselves using Fiber Art. In 2020 they were selected for the Riarteco competition (despite the pandemic) which included various exhibitions in Italy, ending with an exhibition at the Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome.

The Artist:

Adalgisa De Angelis (Italy), aka AdalgisArt, is a multifaceted artist, costume designer, set designer and designer. For over 30 years she has been creating jewelry and bags for her brand. She works as a costume designer for theater, telefilms, TV programs and cinema.

The Objet Trouvè, inspired by Duchamp's concept, is a creation of original assemblages, which gives new life to each material used by intertwining plastics, metal, paper, fabrics, resin and 3d penart.

Distant dreams become images of the present with a refined and playful character that move forward in symbiosis. Imagination and manual crafts make up a full-fledged journey. The origami of the boats symbolizes the confused journey of our present day; the knot of ancient fabrics follows a different language that takes us back to the memory of the past in order to treasure it in the present. The themes chosen are well anchored to everyday life, suffering and rebirth. AdalgisArt works almost exclusively on fiber art and pop art, favoring sculpture. Her professional and artistic body of work is full of experiences both in Italy and abroad.
