Giuseppe Penone Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Marian Goodman Gallery
Media: Sculpture, Installation
The exhibition will present several new works by the artist which investigate the limits between drawing and sculpture, surface and volume, between the human, the vegetable, and the mineral. Penone’s interest in the space between the hand and the touched surface that becomes sculpture and drawing, between imprint and sight, gesture and action, has been sustained throughout his body of work. In his work a universe of suggestions ensues with images that spring from the touch or that touch provokes: the human skin becomes a landscape; the bark of a tree becomes animal skin; vegetable resin becomes relic; the mirrored surface becomes sculpture. Long associated with developments in sculpture in the 60s and 70s and with arte povera, Penone’s work retains its own distinctive character, incorporating binary meanings related to the natural world and the notion of living sculpture.
