Vladimir Kanic

We are thrilled to welcome Vladimir Kanic back to Abbozzo Gallery for his first solo Main Gallery exhibition, Garden of Hope. A trans-disciplinary artist exhibiting with Abbozzo since 2021, Kanic is known for his living algae sculptures, which transform spectators’ breath into oxygen, redefining the gallery as a living ecosystem – where art is not just observed but experienced as an act of care.

Now expanding his practice, Garden of Hope introduces futuristic textiles, film projections and print-based works, re-imagining breathing not only as a biological function but as a site of deep ecological entanglement – where every breath connects us to the fragile, resilient networks of life. Blending his signature living installations with explorations of memory, displacement, and resilience, Kanic offers a vision where healing is not just personal but planetary, and where survival is not about returning to what was, but about imagining what can be built anew – a radical hope.

If you could talk to a microcosm, what would you ask it? “Living Algae Cyborg” is an interactive installation that enables audiences to communicate with algae microorganisms, while creating a bridge for dialogue and cultural exchange between species.

We are so excited to celebrate 30 years of community, 30 years of art for the love of art and 30 years of Abbozzo Gallery with our retrospective exhibition; an exhibition celebrating not just this milestone but the artists that have made this day possible.

Vladimir Kanic’s living sculptures are officially on display. These incredible breathing sculptures - an unprecedented combination of science, technology and new media art - utilize the biological processes of living algae to capture carbon dioxide, create oxygen, and purify the air from toxins. Made from organic biopolymers, these sculptures housing the living algae bring attention to global environmental problems while providing hope and solutions for climate change.

Abbozzo Gallery is pleased to announce we are taking part in the 2022 iteration of the Hamptons Art Fair.
