About the Item

This striking bronze sculpture by Angelo Canevari blends ancient symbolism with contemporary design, making it a captivating centerpiece for any sophisticated interior. The work's architectural geometry—defined by intersecting angular lines and bold metallic accents—creates a dialogue between structure and fluidity. The sculpture's hollow interior, revealed through open wing-like panels, frames a suspended golden triangle, adding an element of mysticism and balance. The polished bronze surface, etched with precise patterns, reflects light in subtle, ever-changing ways, infusing the piece with an aura of quiet dynamism. Canevari’s masterful use of negative space invites viewers to engage with the sculpture from multiple angles, offering fresh perspectives with every glance. Its totemic form evokes spiritual and ritualistic associations, while the interplay of light and shadow across its surfaces creates an almost meditative experience. Ideal for a contemporary living space, a statement foyer, or a curated art collection, this sculpture embodies a timeless elegance that transcends fleeting design trends. Canevari's ability to fuse historical references with modern aesthetics ensures this piece feels equally at home in classic and avant-garde settings. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned by the Vatican to do several works, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.

Canopo - Anthropomorphic Bronze Sculpture, Etruscan, Archaic, Monumental
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
This bronze anthropomorphic sculpture is part of the "Canopo" series. With a modern interpretation, Canevari revisited the sacred vases of the ancient Etruscan civilization from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. The Etruscans were a polytheistic civilization that believed that all visible phenomena were a manifestation of divine power. Canevari interprets the theme's secrecy and mysteriousness in this monumental yet intimate piece. The curved anthropomorphic and totemic shape of the sculpture opens into a magical inside, hiding more secrets and sacred objects. The two sides open like embracing arms, revealing a star-shaped medallion and a glass pendulum. The use of rings and solid bronze blocks hanging and protruding from the surface creates a theatrical play of light and shadows. 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...

Bronze Sculpture EXCLOS
By Guillaume Roche
Located in Pasadena, CA
Guillaume ROCHE The artist translates movement and energy through the dynamism of assemblages and seeks the balance of composition. His sculptures offer aerial movements, round shapes with powerful lines, delicate and sensual cuts. The contextualization of his works, inscribing the approach of Guillaume Roche in the field of architecture: work of structure, lines, matter and skin, study of a volume and its proportions according to context and environment. His work is conceived to be connected with the territory. The EXCLOS series is born from the encounter of the concepts of EXPLOSION and ECLOSION. The artist conceives these imposing spheres of steel as a powerful breath contained by a gentle force that channels and envelops this primary energy. Working with stainless steel, Guillaume seeks contrast through concepts such as full-void, light-weight, balance-fall. In contrast, he finds total freedom of creation...
