The italian sculpture is an excellent option to illuminate and decorate insides and outsides . One example of this are the amazing wooden sculptures created by the venetian artist Loris Marazzi who inspired by his sensibility and daily thing sculpts conceptual and funtional artworks.

But as a nice and remarkable alternative Marazzi starting from the most common objects sculpts his wonderful clothes line in wood (sexy underwear, shoes, hats, bags, jackets…). Loris creates copies in wood such realistic to be quite surrealistic . 

You can easily find his wood art sculptures hanging on the wall at the homes of his clients in the USA, Australia, Holland, England, Germany,

Meeting this italian sculptor and seeing his wonderful sculptures was however the best experience of my visit. Look for Loris Marazzi and his

"Loris Marazzi. A wonderful artist who works in wood, Marazzi's amazing carvings are now all over the world, and the shyly intense and really rather gorgeous man himself will show you the snapshots to prove it.

He gives wood a marvelous liquidity in some works, like his abstract Dali-esque Reality... and then creates everyday items of clothing, draped raincoats and jackets that look terrific on a wall or door and bowties you can really wear.
He will carve something to order such as the bed he carved for an american couple as a vast, cupped human hand.

Go and marvel at the artistry, be charmed by the man, enjoy the smell of wood, and buy your family a heirloom of the future. Daily (he is always working). front of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum 369 Dorsoduro Venice Italy.

by Barbara Dino

Loris Marazzi was born in Venice and started sculpting in his adolescence. He has worked for years in both marble and wood, choosing the latter as the most suitable material to express his creativity.

He collaborated, at the very young age of 15, with a sculptor, then he continued on his own to express, without external influences, everything that his soul wish to communicate.
During years of solitude and rich and strong experiences of life, he has been able to enrich his knowledge in sculpture, making him unique.

He held an important exhibition in New York in 1994, in Soho, and has collaborated with great artists like Kassogi, Mario Valentino, Bruno Magli and many others.

His name is Loris and despite his simplicity and his appearence of a common young italian man, he is an outstanding wood sculptor!
If you're passing through S. Margherita square you could see him through the glasses of his gallery, sculpting a jacket or a couple of shoes from parts of a tree.Not so bad as a nice and "strange" alternative to the usual pubs located in the trendiest place of the city!

"Happiness" is the name of one of his best known sculptures. It's a painting, fully covered with paper (both obviously made of wood) to put on the wall and stare at, thinking about the beautiful things this painting could represent, things everybody would love to see on the wall of their home.
In other words, those things that represent our "happiness".

Then, there's the "Clothes Line", the most appreciated creation by his american clients: shoes, glass, jackets, coats, underwear, ties, hats, raincoats and so on. A full wardrobe in wood to put on the wall or in a particular place of the house, joking with art in furnishing one's own living space and deceive our host's look, surely enthusiastic once he recognizes what this piece is: a fine artwork.
Prices of these artworks aren't surely for everybody, but anyone should have the pleasure to admire such beautiful sculptures.

So, we strongly suggest you to search out his gallery and talk with him about his artworks: you will find a man incredibly passionate about his work.
Pay him a visit, you won't regret it!

Venetian wood sculptor

While exploring the streets and hidden wonders of Venice I came across posters showing the art works of the wood sculptor Loris Marazzi. Being a lover of "All things wood" I decided to search out his art gallery in the front of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum 369 Dorsoduro.
I found his art studio situated, away from the bustle of Venice city itself, in this lovely quiet scenic square and although small, behind this rather insignificant façade, I found a wonderful display of sculptures by this truly amazing Venetian wood carver. 
In the window of his small Art studio were Shoes; a handbag; a bra, pair of socks and panties on a line; a doctors bag; a hat and scarf all made of wood……………. I had to go inside.
Unfortunately he was just closing, as he was leaving to do an Art Exhibition ……………… but he would be back at the Marazzi art gallery tomorrow.

My appetite wetted, I had to go back and see inside his Art studio and meet this wonderful wood sculptor.

So the following day I returned. 

Stepping into this treasure trove I was greeted by Loris Marazzi, a young handsome Venetian Sculptor. He was at his bench working on " The Shirt with Hanger" and a brand new sculpture "a Basque". As we entered his enthusiasm for his craft and works was clearly apparent.
"The Shirt with Hanger" enthralled me but I could not afford it ……could I? 
Before returning to England I had to buy myself a present in wood, a wood carving by this wonderful Venetian Sculptor. So after much deliberation I chose his sensitive umbrella, which symbolised to me the Romance of Venice.
I left happy. I relaxed, celebrating my purchase of this wood carving, with a drink in the late afternoon sun in this quiet Venetian square. 
But that night I could not sleep for the thought of the "The Shirt with Hanger".
I was leaving the next lunchtime to return to England . 
I could not leave without it. So early morning I rushed over to the front of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum 369 Dorsoduro. 
Would he be open? ........... Could I really afford it? ....................................

It is now three years later. "The shirt" hangs in my entrance hall with the umbrella. plus also now a lovely hat.
Loris's master piece "The Open Book", with a personalised plaque in brass (which Loris did specially for me) sits at the foot of my spiral stairs and half way up is his sculpture "Rope on a finger". Both true examples of the best in Modern Art from this talented Venetian wood sculptor.

Every visitor to my home enthrals over these wonderful wood sculptures. His works of art will move anyone. The life that is in each of his works of art is a demonstration of this young wood sculptor's skill and talent.

Thank you Loris for creating these pieces. Seeing these works of art every day gives me the greatest pleasure, and they will continue to be a talking point for every guest to my home.
