Background
Alik Cavaliere was born in Rome in 1926 and died in Milan in 1998. He graduated from the Brera Academy, studying under Manzù, Funi and Marino Marini, and later succeeded Marini in the sculpture chair.
Sculpture as narrative
Cavaliere's official archive describes a practice concerned with people, nature, myth and social life. From an early figurative period he developed narrative cycles including Giochi proibiti, Metamorfosi and Avventure di Gustavo B.
Environments and materials
His work expanded through vegetation themes, large environments and labyrinthine installations. Zanotta records a broad range of materials, from metals and wood to glass, ceramics, paper, sound and found objects.
Zanotta Edizioni
Zanotta credits Cavaliere with Alicante, Genesio and Pompei. These signed pieces bring his narrative and material research into furniture and connect his sculptural practice with the Edizioni programme.
