You have until February 15, 2025 to visit the exhibition “The Animals of Antonio Da Ros. The Magic of Submerged Glass”, organized by the Altar Glass Museum (in the province of Savona), in collaboration with Il Mondo del Vetro.
On the occasion of the 14.00th edition of Natale Sottovetro, the Sala del Camino of Villa Rosa will host the exhibition, open from 15.00 pm to XNUMX pm.
The exhibition pays homage to the work of the Murano glass designer and to the technique of “submerged glass”. Antonio Da Ros is recognized as one of the major interpreters of artistic glass in the second half of the twentieth century, thanks to a conceptual approach that well describes the cultural ferment that animated Venice from the 50s to the 80s. In Da Ros' art, in fact, the abstraction promoted by Peggy Guggenheim, the avant-garde of the gallery owner Carlo Cardazzo and the influence of international exhibitions such as the Biennale converge.
The experimentation of chromatic effects, combined with the creation of original sculptures, has elected Da Ros as a reference figure in the panorama of natural of glass. Thanks to the technique of “submerged glass”, the works of the Murano designer stand out for their ability to create depth and unique plays of colour, obtained by layering crystal glass and coloured glass.
The protagonists of the exhibition are the glass animals: small sculptures, created since 1962, which combine elegance and technical mastery, managing to convey lightness and vitality. The works on display testify to the designer's ability to infuse movement into forms, evoking emotions through the skillful use of fluid lines and chromatic creativity.
Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in a journey of light, colors and shapes, celebrating the talent of one of the greatest glass artists of the twentieth century.
