Angelo Canevari’s Lady Walking Her Dog on a Windy Day is a compelling exploration of movement and form using polyethylene. The artist transforms this unconventional material into ghostly figures, evoking a sense of both playfulness and fragility. The swirling shapes and transparent textures give the impression of a windy day, where the figures dissolve into the air, yet are anchored by their striking red eyes. This surreal narrative reimagines a simple moment, where a walk turns into a windswept spectacle, embodying Canevari’s ability to create a unique tension between the natural and the ephemeral. Drawing from the tradition of Arte Povera, Canevari uses humble materials to create works that transcend their physical properties. The transparency of the polyethylene allows the figures to exist somewhere between presence and absence, offering a thoughtful commentary on the fleeting nature of everyday life. Perfect for collectors interested in contemporary art that blends material experimentation with narrative depth, Lady Walking Her Dog on a Windy Day is a distinctive piece that will enrich any collection with its ethereal beauty and innovative use of material. This artwork is part of a limited number of pieces that the artist created at the end of his life. It has been featured in a book written by renowned writer Andrea Camilleri. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor who comes from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century.
