20 Years of Cavaliero Finn
Revisit Cavaliero Finn's landmark 20th anniversary exhibition at Stockwell Studio 8 May - 1 Aug 2024
In 2004, Juliana Cavaliero and Debra Finn curated their first exhibition as Cavaliero Finn in a home in South London and they haven't looked back since.

For this exhibition, Cavaliero Finn returned to its South London roots to celebrate its 20th birthday at Stockwell Studio. The exhibition featured a wide range of artists who have shown with the gallery over the last 20 years including work by our current portfolio of artists and work from some of our earlier artists, like painters Holly Frean, Daisy Cook and Caroline Popham, paper artist Thurle Wright, designer makers Sam Edkins and Deborah Bowness, and sculptors Tom Stogdon, Danuta Solowiej, Merete Rasmussen and Patricia Volk who returned to the gallery as guest artists for this show. The exhibition also included an installation by textile artist Isabelle Fletcher and new work by Lise Herud Braten, the most recent additions to the Cavaliero Finn portfolio.

Biography

Dalia James is a London based woven textile designer and hand-weaver. Dalia often references early twentieth century design, artistic movements and philosophies in her work, and uses simple geometric forms to explore how colours interact with each other – resulting in bold, playful contemporary designs and artworks.

Dalia graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in Woven Textiles in 2012.

In 2019 Dalia was selected for the Crafts Council's emerging makers programme 'Hothouse' and showcased her work at 'New Designers: One Year In' in June of that year.

With the renewed interest in craft, and weaving in particular, Dalia's practice has been featured in ES Homes & Property (June, 2019), Homes & Gardens magazine (Oct, 2020) and House & Garden magazine (June, 2021).

In 2021 Dalia was awarded an Arts Council of England 'Developing Your Creative Practice' grant to further develop her practice.

Cavaliero Finn will be debuting a new collection of Dalia's work at Artefact 2022.
