Overview
Our Artists: Gabriele and Caterina
Studio17 is an artistic laboratory and a space for research and contamination in dialogue with ancient techniques and traditional materials. The atelier was founded in 2009 by Caterina Sbrana and Gabriele Mallegni, two artists who met and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara.
Studio17 is an art and design laboratory, deeply rooted in its territory, with international experience to its credit.
The two founding artists of the studio collect many of the materials and textures that characterize their works and objects right in the landscape of the Pisan Mountains and on the Serchio river, some of these objects represent a sort of “landscape containers”.
