'The Clown' Riotously Colorful Murano Glass Venetian Mask Mirror (Lucia Massari)

About the Item

This piece is from a series of mirrors inspired by Italian Mannerist painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, composed of swirls, rosettes, flowers and leaves - some of the most typical elements of craftwork on Venetian mirrors - in the place of beards, eyes, noses and hair. The mask and the mirror are both typical Venetian artistic products: combining the two creates a new mask which maintains the decorative details typical of the antique Venetian mirror while downplaying any seriousness with irony and levity. These playful, exuberant and riotously colorful wall mirrors are produced by an illustrious family of master Venetian glassmakers, prominent for centuries as the finest glass artisans in the world, known today as Barbini Specchi Veneziani. This series ('Ms. Italia', 'The Clown', 'The Biker'), designed by Lucia Massari is exclusively available through Emma Scully Gallery, and each one is available to view in-situ at our gallery, which is situated in an 19th century townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan - no appointment necessary. Lucia Massari is an Italian product designer born in Venice, Italy. Massari gained a Master’s degree in product design from the Royal College of Art in London in 2009. While there, she studied under the tutelage of Martino Gamper and Jurgen Bey. She launched her eponymous studio in 2010, splitting her time between Venice and London. In 2013, she formally moved her studio to Venice. Lucia’s multidisciplinary practice frequently incorporates collaborations with local artisans and ranges from product design to installation and performance. She explores the physical presence of objects, inspired by our daily activities around them. Moved by a strong passion for colours and traditional old-fashioned craft techniques, she designs ordinary furniture and objects that teeter between two and three dimensions, exposing both her craftsmanship and her experimental side.
