Marchetti’s art features mixed metal montages, diverse dioramas, enticingly engineered and entertaining inventions and a host of other metal master- pieces. They each are incredibly intricate and extremely intriguing. A few have microscopes woven into the compositions, just for the viewers to get a real “up-close-and-personal” glimpse to the vast array of detail. Marchetti says he is completely moved by a creative streak — or spirit — that muses through him when he is most receptive. The Gallery Above the Silver Lining Boutique, 2217 Highway 101, will host Marchetti’s champagne and hors d'oeu- vres reception on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 3 to 5 p.m., during the Second Saturday Gallery Tour. “We are completely honored and COURTESY PHOTO This and other unique creations from artist Giuliano Marchetti are on display at The Gallery Above the Silver Lining Boutique in Florence. blessed to have this exciting and wildly wonderful show throughout the month of February,” said Silver Lining owner Kimberly Fleenor. “One of Giuliano’s incredibly intriguing characteristics is his acute ability to see the extraordinary in the mundane and make it truly excep- tional.” Marchetti takes used metals, parts, bells, benches, faucets and instruments and turns them into entirely different objects of beauty. His creations combine form and func- tion, balance and geometry, dark and light, science, spirit and spunk, and a whole new way of looking at everyday objects. “Giuliano’s creations begin continu- ously mixed with his skillful creativity,” said Fleenor. “Where they wind up is right here, in this fabulous collection for you to feast your eyes on and be com- pletely enamored and amazed. “You might even be lucky enough to own one, if you get here early.” x S ALAD Fresh tossed green E NTREES LOBSTER: 6oz lobster tail drizzled with a basil butter sauce 12OZ NEW YORK: 12 oz New York steak with a rosemary butter sauce CHICKEN CORDON BLEU: Chicken breast stuffed with black forrest ham D ESSERT Red Velvet Cake or Crepe Suzette RESERVATIONS: 541-997-8263 88416 1ST AVE ° FLORENCE IRUPHUO\3UXGHQWLDO3DFL¿F3URSHUWLHV Same great brokers... same excellent service.
