Exhibition Catalogue

“In terms of the Murano scene, [Micheluzzi] is an independent, he goes his own way, the objects he makes are outside time... His knowledge of glass runs deep because before he began making it himself, he studied it, collected it, and saw it.”
Jean Blanchaert

“[Micheluzzi’s work is] at some deep structural level a creative reimagining of all that constitutes the Venetian habitus.”

Jon Bird

"What interests me is not limited to a flat surface but is the possibility of giving volume to this technique [opus sectile] and above all doing it with glassblowing.

In the furnace, the material previously assembled and melted into a flat sheet can benefit from the qualities of glass blowing. This allows it to expand, but also to narrow the geometric design, giving it a new graphic life by following the shape of the object."

Massimo Micheluzzi

“Those simple, sculptural forms with their deeply ground incisions seemed to me to be closely connected to [Venice] itself. They recalled the patterns made in the water by boats as they move through the canals.”
