    Marchetti art featured at Silver Lining Gallery
FLORENCE — The Giuliano
Marchetti exhibit, “Mixed Metal
Montage and Recycled Resurgence”
is too extensive to be seen in only one
visit or even one month.
Therefore, The Gallery Above the
Silver Lining Boutique is dedicating
the entire summer to his diverse and
extremely artistic works — bells,
instruments, montages and re-works.
His intricate inventions are incred-
ibly intriguing and filled with eclectic
engineering which resurrects the
recycled items into artistic master-
pieces never before seen.
Marchetti is gifted in many areas.
This extensive show allows him to
share his uniqueness and diversity
with all art enthusiasts. The founda-
tion of his unique style is the melding
and welding of metals and common
objects, magnificently masqueraded
into multiple marvels that will
intrigue each viewer and participant.
This adventurous collection com-
bines function and form, geometry
and balance, lights and darkness, sci-
One of Giuliano Marchetti’s
metal artworks, now on
display at The Gallery Above
Silver Lining Boutique.

ence and spirit, and static struc-
tures with sound.
His structural sculptures and
shadow boxes are bursting with
boldness, boisterous ringing
gongs and bells, motion filled
music boxes, and microscopes
that zoom into the pieces and see
the excruciating detail that other-
wise might have been missed.
Visibly recognizable house-
hold items have acquired new life
thru his masterful hands and
imagination.
The understanding of the mul-
titudes of molten and melting
metals montaged into a single
artistic statement is where his cre-
ations begin, mixed with skillful
creativity for each metal master-
piece.
