Born in 1964, Carlo Cazzaniga trained as an artisan and started working on glass and metal, until he became a passionate lover of wood.
Inspired by a nostalgic pop style, he creates wooden boards with the fretwork technique, where graphics take centre stage. With fresh creativity, he represents moustache, spectacles and hairstyles through plain, essential, easily traceable lines, hinting at well-known characters from popular media culture. The result is a provocative paradox: a lighthearted, nearly decorative aesthetic barely covers an attack on contemporary society, obsessed by media mythology.
In the Abrazo Futbolero collection, he lines up a number of famous footballers from different teams, nationalities and skin colours and represents, with the same technique, a world-wide embrace, evoking a purer image of sports activities, conceived as a game where players engage in exchanging and sharing emotions.
Since 2008, Carlo Cazzaniga has been cooperating with specialised magazines like Sole24Ore Daily Lab, the art and crafts D’A magazine and the Artigianeide thematic blog.
His works have been showcased in numerous permanent collections in Italy and abroad: the Eyewear Museum in Pieve di Cadore, Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem, Football Museum in Coverciano, Museum of Grande Torino in Grugliasco, Museum Benfica Cosme Damiao in Lisbon, Museum of True&False in Naples.
