Each unremarkable log has artistic potential: if not Pinocchio, then at least one more tree, but smaller in size, can turn out from it. Art objects by Giuseppe Penone are about opportunities hidden for the time being, about a new life that lurks even in a felled, dead trunk. And also - about the fragile "backbone", which holds a huge deck with thin branches. And, finally, these sculptures are about the subtle mental organization of any, even unattractive, log (we're not talking about trees, are we?).
64-year-old Italian Giuseppe Penone loves simple natural materials: stone, leather, wood, with which you can demonstrate the connection and interdependence of all things. But not only that. In philosophical art objects, the sculptor reflects on the past and the future.
A felled tree without branches and roots symbolizes something that cannot be returned, and a young tree symbolizes something that is still in its infancy. Where is the present? Or is all we have is just the past, pregnant with the future? Wooden art objects give you the opportunity to think about time and count your own annual rings.
