Canturi Art Exhibition Journey by Stefano Canturi

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Jewellery Designer Stefano Canturi’s work with the unveiling of his first exhibition of drawings, paintings and small scale sculpture. Journey by Stefano Canturi is a unique exhibition and is for public viewing from February 2013 in galleries in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and New York. A rare insight into the world and mind of Stefano Canturi through his artistic journey of ten jewellery concepts curated from his body of work spanning over 25 years. “This exhibition is a journey and not a traditional art exhibition. Works are frozen moments in time from the point of inspiration, to birth of creation, to the finished piece” he explains Until now, all his works have been kept private. Art works include never before seen drawings and paintings of his masterpiece ‘Satine’ created for Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, the necklace that featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most valuable piece of jewellery ever created for film. The exhibition is full of life colour and beauty, meeting Stefano was an inspiring experience as he shared personal stories and his passion to create art.  Stefano Canturi kindly extended invitations to Designer Rugs guests for the opening night leaving some interior designers inspired to sketch blindfolded just like Stefano. I think I might give it a go too!
