Alexandra Obarzanek was born in Bailystok Poland at the end of the war in 1945. She grew up in Communistic Poland until the age of 13 and immigrated with her mother to Melbourne in 1958 where she attended Elwood high school. She immigrated to Israel just after the six-day war in 1967 and lived and worked on Kibbutz Gal-On until 1974 when she returned to Melbourne. Back in Melbourne she enrolled to RMIT completing a BA in fine arts followed by a Masters in painting. Obarzanek exhibited commercially in the eighties. Prone to periods of depression, she struggled with her painting and the isolation it entailed she incorporated ceramics in her practice as a social and craft activity, which later in her career became a dominant art form of her practice. The WWII shaped Obarzanek’s life and the outcome of the holocaust in Eastern Europe was the sole driver for her to immigrate to Australia. Obarzanek’s creativity and struggles were directly influenced by the dominant past and to a great extent, her art was a way to make sense of things that could not be reconciled.

- Head of an AngelLocated in New York, NYProcaccini was born in Bologna, but his family moved to Milan when the artist was eleven years old. His artistic education was evidently familial— from his father Ercole and his elder brothers Camillo and Carlo Antonio, all painters—but his career began as a sculptor, and at an early age: his first known commission, a sculpted saint for the Duomo of Milan, came when he was only seventeen years old. Procaccini’s earliest documented painting, the Pietà for the Church of Santa Maria presso San Celso in Milan, was completed by 1604. By this time the artist had made the trip to Parma recorded by his biographers, where he studied Correggio, Mazzola Bedoli, and especially Parmigianino; reflections of their work are apparent throughout Procaccini's career. As Dr. Hugh Brigstocke has recently indicated, the present oil sketch is preparatory for the figure of the angel seen between the heads of the Virgin and St. Charles Borrommeo in Procaccini's altarpiece in the Church of Santa Afra in Brescia (ill. in Il Seicento Lombardo; Catalogo dei dipinti e delle sculture, exh. cat. Milan 1973, no. 98, pl. 113). As such it is the only known oil sketch of Procaccini's that can be directly connected with an extant altarpiece. The finished canvas, The Virgin and Child with Saints Charles Borrommeo and Latino with Angels, remains in the church for which it was painted; it is one of the most significant works of Procaccini's maturity and is generally dated after the artist's trip to Genoa in 1618. The Head of an Angel is an immediate study, no doubt taken from life, but one stylistically suffused with strong echoes of Correggio and Leonardo. Luigi Lanzi, writing of the completed altarpiece in 1796, specifically commented on Procaccini's indebtedness to Correggio (as well as the expressions of the angels) here: “Di Giulio Cesare...Category
