Livio De Marchi

Livio De Marchi is a Venetian master sculptor who works exclusively -- and improbably --  in wood.  He is not subtle: witness the motor-powered full-size land/sea Ferrari replica freaking out the vaporetto passengers above. Trained at Venice's Accademia di Belle Arti, he's got an international reputation, with exhibitions in Milan, Florence, London, Paris, Düsseldorf, Zürich, New York, Los Angeles, San Fancisco and Tokyo, though to be honest, I just stumbled across this today on the America Top Ten blog. Bravo Livio.

Here's a link to a photo gallery of his work that seems to have better images than Livio's official site. Check out the floating 4-seater pumpkin "pulled" by 4 wooden horses, each which rear up when the driver pulls the reins. Apparently it was a hit at Carnevale '94.

Speaking of art--and since this blog is sleeping--Ansa has reported on a great art exhibit in Venice--Self portaits of artist such as Tintoretto, Rafaello, Boldini, Chagall and many more. If you are in Venice, check it out at Palazzo Fianchetti until May 6th, 2007. Wish I was going.

I visited Livio's gallery in Venice a few years ago and he was there and it was an absolutely delightful experience. His works are incredible and I purchased a little signed wooden book which was all we could afford and is prominently displayed on my coffee table. I love it. He is a great artist as well as a vivacious personality.
