Italia
In Italia, the third chapter of Cal Fraser’s ongoing series A Short History of the Continent, the artist continues his exploration of power, ritual, and the performance of gender and nationalism. Set within a stark, theatrical interior reminiscent of religious or institutional spaces, the figures appear caught in a moment of ambiguous ceremony—half devotion, half detachment.
Fraser’s expressive brushwork and symbolic compositions invite viewers to reflect on the tension between tradition and identity, and the way bodies are positioned—both literally and metaphorically—within the grand narratives of European history.
