Exhibition “Disfiguration of Utopia” by D.Anghel
Art Space 2 of the Casino Estoril Art Gallery
In order to respond to the expressive interest shown by visitors to Casino Estoril, the exhibition “Disfiguration of Utopia” by D.Anghel will be on view, this Tuesday, 24th of May, in the Art Space 2 of the Art Gallery. The entrance is free.
It is recalled that this original solo exhibition of paintings by Daniela Anghel was featured, from April 23rd until yesterday, May 23rd, at the Art Gallery, having registered a high turnout of the public. The exhibition can therefore continue to be visited, but this time at Espaço de Arte 2, until 30 June.
D.Anghel’s painting stands out for the monumentality of the works and for an extremely rigorous technique. In her paintings, subject to a formal and temporal fold, classical compositions of Western painting undergo various processes of transmutation and updating.
Daniela Anghel was born in Alexandria, Romania in 1979, later obtaining Portuguese nationality. Graduated in Fine Arts – Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon, (2004) and took a brief specialization course in oil painting, drawing, portrait and human figure, at the Ilya Repin Imperial Academy, Saint Petersburg, Russia (2012 -2013).
Since 2003, she has exhibited regularly at the Casino Estoril Art Gallery, having participated in the Spring and Autumn Salons. She has had three solo exhibitions in this gallery: in 2004 – The temptation of the image, in 2005 – Mulheres de Portugal, and in 2007 – The return of the eternal.
D.Anghel, in 2008, also opened an exhibition, “A Dobra do Tempo”, at the Mãe d’Água Museum in Lisbon. Internationally, he participated in the London Biennale (2017), the Barcelona Biennale (2017), the Florence Biennale (2017), the Chianciano Biennale (2018), and the Contemporary Art Fair, Port de Versailles, Paris, in 2018.
