Canopo - Bronze Sculpture with Secret Compartments, Funerary Urn, Antropomorphic

Creator: Angelo Canevari
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
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 Canevari's ability to fuse historical references with modern aesthetics ensures this piece feels equally at home in classic and avant-garde settings.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.
