Under The Surface

UNDER THE SURFACE

The construction, the hands, the time it takes. Under The Surface brings the story closer, through a series of events around the world, meeting the world of art. From city to city, artists are invited to explore what lies beneath, in a dialogue between their work and Canali.

DISCOVER UNDER THE SURFACE

Lihuai Qian - Beijing

In Lihuai Qian’s work, bamboo carries the memory of the hands that have shaped it for centuries. Commissioned by Canali for the Beijing chapter of Under the Surface, three suspended panels bring this living tradition into a new dialogue with light, pattern and space.

Brian Rochefort - New York

In Brian Rochefort’s ceramic sculptures, the surface holds the history of its own making. Commissioned by Canali for the New York chapter of Under the Surface, the works invite the viewer to look beyond their immediate impact and discover what lies beneath: layers of clay and colour, knowledge built through experimentation, and the many decisions that shape each creation.

Diego Perrone - Milano

Three new glass sculptures by Diego Perrone give form to a unique dialogue with Canali. Created for Under the Surface, the works invite the viewer to discover what a finished form holds within: the thought that inspired it, the technical knowledge and the time that made its creation possible.
