About the Item

Mirabile by Angelo Canevari is a striking and tactile work that showcases the artist's ability to transform organic materials into a profound statement. Using leather and stone, Canevari creates a minimalist yet evocative composition that speaks to the inherent beauty of natural elements. The softness of the leather juxtaposed with the solidity of the stone evokes a sense of balance and tension. This interplay of textures and forms reflects Canevari's mastery in material manipulation, reminiscent of Italian Arte Povera traditions. Mirabile invites viewers to engage with its simplicity and explore the dialogue between contrasting materials. This unique work would be a sophisticated addition to any contemporary or modern art collection, bringing a natural yet refined aesthetic to any space. Canevari’s work stands out for its minimalist yet tactile qualities, blending sculpture and painting into one cohesive piece. Perfect for those who appreciate texture, materiality, and thoughtful design. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor who comes from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.

Enchanted Composition- Leather and Stone Sculpture, Burri and Fontana Inspired
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
Angelo Canevari's "Mirabile Composto" is a 106.3 x 106.3-inch leather and stone abstract sculpture composed of 12 elements. This piece is part of a limited number of works where Canevari engaged in a different medium than bronze. The title "Mirabile Composto" comes from a 17th-century quote describing the work of the famous Baroque Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It refers to Bernini's fusion of architecture, sculpture, and painting. In this work, Canevari skillfully plays with different shades of leather and a river pebble to blur the distinction between painting, sculpture, or architectural pieces. The piece projects a magnetic presence. It reminds the immensity and peacefulness of the golden sand mounds in the Sahara desert when viewed from an aerial view. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.

Amphora
By George Tzannes
Located in New York, NY
This still-life fresco painting is part of a series depicting ancient Greek amphoras and pottery vases from the archaeological site of Paliopoli, in the Greek island of Kythera, known as the place where Aphrodite was born and emerged from the sea. Tzannes used his own fresco technique where the pigment is imbedded in the slab as it dries. The outcome is a sensual, almost silky surface with subtle gray and white tones. The drawing is imbedded in the concrete surface, nearly as an ancient fossil. The amphoras are drawn from the original Minoan pottery...
