2008
At the request of the School of Art at COFA UNSW, Daniel designed an interdisciplinary course dedicated to the study of the
languages of colour. This Advanced Colour course became part
of the curriculum of studies of the University of New South Wales.
Following a visit to the Kimberley, the Northern Territories
and the Red Centre, Daniel began working on a
series of oil paintings dedicated to the Australian landscape.
He
moved to Killcare on the Central Coast NSW, where he built a studio.
2006 - 2007
Daniel De'Angeli accepted an invitation by the College of Fine Arts (COFA) of the University of New South
Wales, Sydney, to expand the
colour studies area of the School of Art and to teach Colour
and Painting from the Academic Year 2007.
First
field trip: Lake Mungo, Mutawintji, Bourke, drawing and studying the landscape of outback New South Wales.
COFA UNSW
2002 - 2005
Inspired by the colours and textures of the Spanish Pyrenees, Daniel worked on a series of paintings on paper dedicated
to water and rock formations during frequent stays in a mountain village
in Aragon.
2004
The Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry selected three paintings for the reception area of the new Clinical
Sciences Building. The works are on loan through a scheme
sponsored by Paintings in Hospitals, the charity devoted
to providing artworks to hospitals in the UK.
2003
'Images of Earth and Spirit', a Resurgence art anthology
edited by John Lane and Satish Kumar, was published
by Green Books. It includes the article 'Healing Colour' by
Selina Mills about De'Angeli's work.

1987 - 2003
In
1981, on the first of many visits to Ireland, Daniel De’Angeli
was captivated by the story of the wanderings of the 6th century
Irish Saint Brendan the Navigator. Returning to his studio
in Florence he devoted the next five years to painting a series
of watercolours depicting his personal vision of Brendan's
search for the promised land of the saints in the Atlantic
waters.
The
series The Voyage of Saint Brendan was shown for the
first time in 1987 in Dublin at the Italian Cultural Institute.
In 1988 it was chosen to open the set of tributes that the
Italian Embassy to Ireland and the Cultural Institute organised
to celebrate the Dublin Millennium. Subsequently the paintings
were exhibited on ten occasions in Ireland, Italy, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Malta.
In
1994 the book The Voyage of Saint Brendan was published
by Four Courts Press, Dublin, with a grant by the Embassy
of Italy to Ireland. Professor Emeritus John O’Meara’s masterly
translation of the 9th century text of the Navigatio Sancti
Brendani Abbatis was combined with the original paintings
presented in the exhibition.
The 28 works
on paper of the series The Voyage of Saint Brendan were sold in 2003 to a private collector in the west of Ireland. The
collection is periodically loaned to public spaces.
