‘I AM’ explores the declarative nature of being an artist through the audacity of colour and abstraction. The exhibition explores this concept through a series of works that aim to allow people to think about their own personal audacities and declarations.

As an Australian-born artist who spent the majority of her childhood in Spain and the US, Evangeline Cachinero’s work negotiates a culturally elusive dialogue between integration and detachment. She is most comfortable living with this ambiguity, navigating the diametric tension of the space between things: student/teacher, figuration/abstraction, harmony/discordance, art/craft, order/chaos, physical/digital, earthly/metaphysical, joy/anxiety. By leaning into the in-betweenness of disparate ideas, Cachinero taps in active energy.

She is known for her vibrant paintings, digital installations and detailed textiles that fuse together multiple interests.

Cachinero has exhibited her work throughout Australia, the US and Europe, including large festivals like Print Screen and Electrofringe. Her work was chosen to be displayed at projects run in major museums including MoMa and Tate Britain. she has appeared in publications including Frankie Magazine and participated in public speaking events on radio, gallery talks and panels. She has been a finalist in various art prizes, most notably The Alice Prize, Maritime Art Award, Heysen Prize and the Sunshine Coast Art Prize as well as winning highly commended at the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award in 2021. Her works are held in numerous private collections internationally.
