Michel Salerno, "Biancaredou, " Handmade Iron and Copper Mirror, France, 2020

About the Item

Michel Salerno, a master metal-smith born in nice, has been a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts for twenty-five years. Using centuries-old techniques, and evoking motifs older still, Salerno produces work that, nonetheless, is strikingly contemporary. This innovative character is managed by reflection. While the pieces are framed in classically lush, bronze details, often depicting natural subjects, the 'mirrors' themselves are dark, opaque, or dappled, and produce at best an irresolute image. In effect, the pieces draw a stark contrast between the timeless quality of art and the mortal quality of those bustling around it.

  • Vesuvius 100 Wall Mirror Copper, Lava Stone Glass Fusion by Atlasproject
    By Atlasproject
    Located in Manocalzati, Avellino
    Vesuvius is the tribute of Atlasproject to the most powerful and romantic presence of nature in the landscape of Naples. Much wealth and much misery have come down over the centuries from Vesuvius, “the great exterminator”, as it was called by the famous poet Leopardi. The Vesuvius mirror recalls the amazing force of nature through the combination of the materials selected: lavic stone, fused glass, copper.
