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.

Enchanting - Leather and Stone Abstract Sculpture, Burri and Fontana inspired
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
Angelo Canevari’s Mirabile ( Enchanting ) is a 39.5 x 39.5 inch leather and stone abstract sculpture. This piece is part of a limited number of works where Canevari engaged in a different medium than bronze. The title "Mirabile” comes from a 17th century quote describing the work of the famous Baroque Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It refers to Bernini's astonishing 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 piece. The piece projects a magnetic presence. It reminds the immensity and peacefulness of the golden sand mounds in the Sahara desert when looked upon from an aerial view. 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.
