Objects of Desire and Bruno Acampora scents

Exhibition opening: Monday 3 December 5.00 – 8.30pm.

Elisabetta Cipriani is very pleased to present the two latest collaborations.

The She-Wolf, the Eagle and the Octopus are creations by the Italian artist Paolo Canevari made in a limited edition of 5. Together the three objects of art constitute a sophisticated set of zoomorphic silver serving cutlery inspired by three animals which across human history have been associated with symbols of power: the She-Wolf, the Eagle and the Octopus, eyes made of diamonds, rubies and pearls, respectively. Through employing these archetypal images yet using them in a new context, the artist puts their meaning in jeopardy and invites us to reflect on the iconography of power.

Ania Guillaume interpreted Bruno Acampora’s luxurious scented candles through sculptural holders Sérénité, inspired by gingko leaves. These will be displayed alongside other renown scents of the perfumery. With the artists interest in nature’s intricate spirituality, she purposefully chose the gingko leaf not only for the folliage’s singular beauty, but mainly for its meaningful symbolism of longevity and wellbeing; qualities deeply rooted in Acampora’s identity and its wonderful aromas.

Recollections of the natural world will be augmented by our showcasing of Michele Oka Doner’s Goddess Minaudiere (2007), a sterling silver clutch that in its shape recalls nature in its purest form.

These hand-crafted, precious objects are a beautiful inspiration for this year’s gift-giving season.
