Angela Caporaso was born in 1962. A visual artist from Caserta (Italy), she began to take an interest in figurative arts in the eighties, exhibiting repeatedly both in Italy and abroad.
Angela Caporaso's art has always been characterized by a constant research and experimentation.
Since her first exhibitions she has revealed a constant strain towards new expressive languages.
This constant research led Angela to contaminate sign with colour, font with image, literature with painting, as though one single medium was not sufficient to express her complex imaginative world.
She has worked on the words of the main contemporary writers and has dedicated some of her exhibitions to Albert Camus, Emily Dickinson, Pier Vittorio Tondelli.
Influenced by Pop Art, she has inserted in her works the typical comics “bubbles”, as well as advertising references, decontextualized and transformed into a proper artistic language.
She has worked with unrecyclable waste material, humble and inert, which has acquired new sense and meaning thanks to the artist’s intervention.
Angela Caporaso focusing on artists’ books and visual poetry, working with the mediums of collage, trash-art and, more recently, digital formats.
