CONTEMPORARY ART
Created to celebrate the meeting between art and wine, the biennial project “Costasera Contemporary Art” invites an internationally renowned artist from a country connected to Masi and its wines to create a work dedicated to Masi’s iconic Amarone Costasera.
THE AMARONE DRESSED BY ART
Each edition invites the selected artist to reinterpret the label of Costasera Amarone Classico, transforming every bottle into a small, collectible work of art. The result is a limited edition that celebrates the dialogue between wine, culture, and beauty.
The labels of the third 2017 edition adorn a selection of Costasera 2000 bottles with a reproduction of Susan A. Point’s artwork.
TRADITIONAL LEGACY
The artwork expresses the artist’s ancestral bond with the Coast Salish people through natural and symbolic themes - the Fraser River, the Salish Sea, and their creatures - depicted in a style that blends abstraction and figuration. The circle, a recurring symbol of life, evokes the sun, the moon, salmon eggs, and grape berries, creating an ideal bridge between indigenous roots and Valpolicella, the place where the artist has found new connections with the land and its fruits.
THE ARTIST
Susan A. Point, a descendant of the Coast Salish people in Canada, has inherited the beliefs and traditions of her maternal culture. Her style, combining traditional and contemporary elements, has inspired the Coast Salish Art movement, influencing an entire generation of artists. For her contribution to art and culture, she has received numerous honors, including recognition as one of the most influential women in British Columbia and Vancouver.
