Alik Cavaliere
Alik Aldo Cavaliere was an Italian sculptor and lecturer, professor of sculpture and director of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. He spent his life researching the meaning of life, freedom, nature, and history. Atheist and libertarian since generations, he didn't believe in any preconceived, final structure of the society, the environment, or the whole universe. Neither he followed any art movements of his times, although he knew all of them and was temporarily influenced by some. He strove along his own way, narrating his perceptions with witty irony, through sculptures made up of a wide range of materials, disposed in a chaotic labyrinth which visitors are forced to traverse without being able to find a definitive point of view.Date and place of birt: | 5 august 1926, Rome, Italy |
