Sauro Cavallini: Ascensione d’amore

On 5 September 2025, Oblong Contemporary Art Gallery will present a special evening dedicated to the Italian sculptor Sauro Cavallini (1927–2016). The event will unveil Ascensione d’amore, one of the artist’s most emblematic works, accompanied by a cocktail reception.

Sauro Cavallini was celebrated for his monumental bronzes and refined linear forms that captured movement, harmony, and ascension. His artistic language combined strength and elegance, often transforming heavy materials into light, fluid structures that seemed to defy gravity.

Throughout his career, Cavallini exhibited internationally and earned a reputation for creating sculptures that embodied both architectural precision and lyrical expression. His works continue to inspire collectors, institutions, and admirers of Italian modernism.

The sculpture presented at Oblong Contemporary reflects Cavallini’s signature style: elongated, vertical lines that guide the gaze upward, symbolizing human aspiration, connection, and transcendence. Ascensione d’amore demonstrates his enduring belief in the spiritual and poetic power of form.
