Overview
CINEMA RELOADED: MOSAIC VISIONS, Emanuele Sari at Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel

Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel renews its partnership with Cris Contini Contemporary for the third consecutive year, presenting the exclusive exhibition by Emanuele Sari: a journey through Venetian tradition, contemporary art, and the imagery of international cinema.

Known as one of the leading interpreters of contemporary mosaic art, Sari reinvents this ancient technique through a bold and modern visual language, capable of blending craftsmanship with pop culture. The exhibition offers guests and visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in a visual journey that evokes cinematic icons and symbols, transforming images into matter and matter into experience through a form of “living” art, where design and hospitality coexist as a true lifestyle.
Located in the heart of Venice — the ultimate cinematic setting — Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel transforms its spaces into an immersive journey that, through art, engages with the imagery of the silver screen, reinterpreting globally recognized icons and titles through a visually powerful narrative.
By combining techniques and materials rooted in Venetian tradition — such as glass from local furnaces — with a disruptive aesthetic, the artist transforms iconic subjects, from Star Wars to The Dark Knight, from Joker to Deadpool, as well as other symbols of pop culture, into textured compositions. These works create narrative surfaces where cinema, art, and culture intertwine, offering multiple layers of interpretation while leaving room for the viewer’s personal perspective. The result is an immediate, accessible, and shareable experience for both international and local audiences.

Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel rinnova per il terzo anno consecutivo la partnership con Cris Contini Contemporary presentando l’esclusiva mostra di Emanuele Sari: un viaggio attraverso tradizione veneziana, arte contemporanea e immaginario cinematografico internazionale.

Noto per essere uno dei principali interpreti del mosaico contemporaneo, Sari, reinventa questa tecnica millenaria attraverso un linguaggio audace e moderno, capace di fondere artigianalità e cultura pop. L’esposizione offre agli ospiti e ai visitatori l’opportunità di immergersi in un percorso visivo che evoca icone e simboli del cinema, trasformando l’immagine in materia e la materia in esperienza, attraverso un’arte “viva”, in cui design e ospitalità convivono in un vero e proprio stile di vita.
Situato nel cuore di Venezia - set cinematografico per eccellenza - Avani Rio Novo Venice trasforma i propri spazi in un viaggio immersivo che, attraverso l’arte, dialoga con l’immaginario del grande schermo, reinterpretando icone e titoli riconosciuti a livello globale attraverso un racconto visivo di forte impatto.
Combinando tecniche e materiali della tradizione veneziana - come il vetro delle fornaci locali - con un’estetica dirompente, l’artista trasforma soggetti iconici, da Star Wars a The Dark Knight, da Joker a Deadpool, fino a figure simbolo della cultura pop,  in composizioni materiche, dando vita a superfici narrative in cui cinema, arte e cultura si intrecciano, offrendo molteplici livelli di lettura e lasciando spazio all’interpretazione dello spettatore. Il risultato è un’esperienza immediata, accessibile e condivisibile con un pubblico sia internazionale, che locale.
