AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ARTWORK NAME: PENCIL
Artwork Description: The light sculptures are designed and made entirely by hand, conceived by designer, sculptor, and architect Andrea Olivazzo. Each is always a ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE, including custom-made sculptures in the SHAPE and COLOR chosen by the clients.
The sculptures change personality: a sculptural object with a strong material presence in daylight, and a luminous installation at night. Made entirely of multicolored aluminum to capture, reflect, and shape the surrounding light, they transform the perception of color and form throughout the day. They interact with the ambient lighting, creating dynamic shadows and shifting reflections on the wall.
Each sculpture is signed by the artist and comes with an original CERTIFICATE of AUTHENTICITY.
The sculptures are supplied WITHOUT THE LIGHTING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, allowing clients to choose the light source that is most convenient and suitable for them. We recommend mounting the sculpture on the wall opposite the light source (see attached image), using nails or anchors suitable for its weight.
Artwork Materials: The light sculptures are entirely Made in Italy and made completely of aluminum (structure and decorative sheets), a material known to be 100% recyclable.
The sculpture has been finished with a professional glossy white powder coating and features a genuine wooden pencil in silver.
ARTWORK DIMENSIONS: measurements are approximate, as each sculpture has an irregular shape.
Height 30 cm.
Width 20–25 cm.
Depth 12 cm.
Weight 1.0 kg.

Seller's Story
In November 2002 Andrea Olivazzo, in a gallery in central Turin, held his first solo exhibition of LUMINOUS SCULPTURES. In December 2003 GAI (Giovani Artisti Italiani) and Bjcem (International Association for the Biennale of Young Designers of Europe and the Mediterranean) selected Andrea Olivazzo together with 14 other artists to exhibit in a touring group show at several ARCI clubs in Turin. During 2002/2003 he exhibited in important design and furniture stores in Turin and Milan. In April 2004 he exhibited some luminous sculptures at the Milan International Furniture Fair. In October 2004 he staged his second solo exhibition at the Il Calamo gallery in Turin. In October 2004 he was approached by the furniture company Di Liddo e Perego of Meda (MI) to exclusively produce two models of luminous sculptures (Lanka and Fuoco) which would be included in the 2005/06 catalog of the artistic line “Modà,” advertised internationally. In November 2004 he was invited and selected by the Piedmont Region to participate – together with a group of established Piedmontese designers – in the project “Design Workshop Paris 2005.” From late 2006 he collaborated with some furniture shops in the city of Lyon (France). In 2012 he exhibited at the collective design self-produced show “Creazioni casa – tra artigianato e design” at Villa Arconati in Bollate (MI). In 2022 he exhibited his luminous sculptures titled “Le quattro stagioni” at the exhibition space “Edicola51” in central Turin. In 2024 he participated in the major collective Paratissima exhibition in Turin with some of his works. During the year, he also exhibited at the Maiocchi gallery in Milan his luminous sculpture Rampicante oro. In recent years criticism has also taken an interest in Andrea Olivazzo, dedicating a profile to him in the daily La Stampa and publishing some of his lamps in important design magazines such as Cose di Casa and AD. Since 2021 he has begun designing colored lamps using the anodization method or coloring with professional varnishes.
