About the Item
"Alisma Plantago Aquatica" by artist Paul Cava is a one-of-a-kind (unique) Iris print of a nude female figure from a historical glass plate on an 18th-c botanical engraving mounted on fine art paper. The work itself measures 25 1/4 x 19 inches and is framed to 34 x 27 x 2 inches in a contemporary white wooden frame and white mat. Signed, dated, and titled by the artist.
"When one looks at [Paul Cava's] photographs of other photographs upon which he has overlaid birds, grids, letters, botanical illustrations, his own paintings or other paintings, one could conceivably wonder, 'What does Paul Cava's work mean?" . . .By placing words about "God" or "Cummings" on the bodies of lovers or by having a bird rise and Nature break forth and lift from the union of two lovers, Cava invites us to consider the images themselves and the interplay of the juxtapositions he has structured. What could be less baffling or more potent than what Cava presents us with: the sweet humor of birds aflutter on bodies, the tantric notion of the sacredness of sex, or the idea of Nature herself rising from the genitals of a woman?" - John Wood, from "Eyemazing: The New Collectible Art Photography," Thames & Hudson.
Brooklyn-born artist Paul Cava began his career as an artist in the late 1960's. Cava made his first explorations as a poet, multi-media artist, filmmaker, photographer and painter. He finally settled in the last three decades on a hybrid form of expression that synthesized his previous efforts and anticipated the current digital use of photography by combining photographs, words, collage, drawing, painting, and printmaking into his own visual language, the core of which is a personal visual poetry.
Cava has exhibited paintings, drawings and photo-based works from 1976 to the present in galleries and museums in the United States and Europe. His work has been collected by a broad range of private and public institutions, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Princeton University Museum of Art, and The Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. His work has been featured in many publications including "Eyemazing Magazine" and "Das Magazin." Cava was a recipient of Pennsylvania Council on the Arts grants in 1981 and 1999. In 2005, the German publisher Edition Galerie Vevais released "Walt Whitman and Paul Cava / Children of Adam," a deluxe volume of Cava’s photo-based art and Walt Whitman’s poetry. The artist’s second book, "Paul Cava: Photographs Collages Montages" covers mostly previously unpublished photographs, collages and montages made between the years 1979-2019.
