About

Celebrating the era when popular “physical culture” magazines provided American men an all-natural modern Adonis to emulate or secretly desire. “Muscle Man” features pre-Stonewall superstar Robert Roy (1948), who was featured in magazines like Iron Man and Muscle Power. The image showcases perfect proportioned, pre- steroid bodies from a more innocent time. Cavalieri’s aim is to merge contemporary imagery with the time-honored processes of painted stained glass, a material with a powerful spiritual history. He incorporates contemporary colors and design and often adds humor. His technique was originally created by Medieval stained glass artists, and used enamel paints which were made of ground glass, metals and pigment. These paints were applied to the glass surface then kiln fired at a temperature of 1300 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius). Once cooled, the glass was soldered together. Cavalieri updates this historic process by incorporating silk screening and airbrushing techniques, along with hand painting. His finished art is set into wall hung light boxes with internal LED lighting. Joseph Cavalieri is an award winning native New York artist and educator. His work can be seen in the permanent collection of the Museum of Arts and Design, the Italian American Museum, the Leslie-Lohman Museum, and the Stax Museum. He has produced private and public art commissions including a MTA Arts for Transit public art installation at the Philipse Manor Train Station in Westchester, New York. His work has been collected by Morgan Spurlock, and two Simpson’s writers.
