Opis umjetničkog djela

Penone grew up in the Maritime Alps on Italy’s northwestern Ligurian coast, not far from Turin. Part of the artist’s ongoing engagement with nature, Penone began his now iconic Alberi (Trees) series in 1969. Through a process he defines as debarking, Penone carves into the wood follow- ing knots created by the earliest branches of growth. For Penone, this process allows for the trunk and branches of the earliest form of the tree to re-emerge. “The tree is a being that memorizes its form in its structure,” explains the artist; “it is the perfect sculpture. Every year of his growth is present within him. The memory of his existence is conserved in his substance: my task is to reveal it.” In this work, Penone worked with a dead tree he found. The discovery of the grenade shell and barbed wire, visible near the base of the resulting sculpture, speaks to the embattled history of northern Italy during World War II, and especially of the anti-fascist Resistance, which often consolidated in rural areas around urban centers under Mussolini’s regime and German occupation. Alongside Penone’s other works and actions, the Alberi exemplify Penone’s deep interest in nature and our connection to it.

Giuseppe Penone: Bridging Art and Nature’s Echoes

Giuseppe Penone (born 1947) stands as a pivotal figure in Italian Arte Povera, an artistic movement that championed raw materials and processes as conduits for profound contemplation. Emerging from the forested landscapes of Garessio, Italy—where he resides to this day—Penone’s career began in earnest with collaborative projects exploring the relationship between human beings and the natural world. He quickly gained recognition within the Arte Povera circle, spearheaded by Germano Celant, cementing his place as one of its most influential voices. His artistic vision centers on a deeply rooted fascination with trees—not merely as objects of beauty but as repositories of memory and embodiment of time itself. Penone’s sculptures, installations, and drawings consistently utilize unconventional materials – weathered leather, volcanic ash, beeswax, and meticulously crafted wood – transforming them into evocative representations of organic forms. These aren't simply depictions; they are active engagements with the material world, mirroring the rhythms and transformations observed in nature. Each piece embodies a deliberate process of assimilation, mimicking the geological forces that shape mountains and forests. This approach reflects Penone’s belief that art should resonate with the sensory experience of its surroundings—the scent of wood resin, the texture of bark, the coolness of stone—creating artworks that transcend mere visual perception. Penone's early exhibitions showcased his pioneering use of lead and iron, reflecting a deliberate rejection of traditional sculptural techniques. He sought to liberate form from conventional constraints, prioritizing tactile qualities and elemental processes. This commitment to materiality is evident throughout his oeuvre, where he painstakingly prepares surfaces—often incorporating ash—to reveal the inherent beauty of their grain and texture. The resulting sculptures possess an almost meditative stillness, inviting viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the interconnectedness of life forms. A significant influence on Penone’s artistic trajectory was Marcel Proust's *À la recherche du temps perdu*, which profoundly impacted his conceptual framework. Proust’s exploration of involuntary memory—triggered by sensory experiences—inspired Penone to consider how art could evoke similar emotional responses, mirroring the way natural elements imprint themselves upon our consciousness. This concept is powerfully expressed in works like “Three-Meter Tree,” where Penone painstakingly constructs a monumental wooden sculpture that embodies the essence of a single tree trunk, capturing its history and vitality. Penone’s work has garnered international acclaim, including the Praemium Imperiale awarded by UNESCO in 2007. His sculptures are housed in prominent museums worldwide—the Guggenheim Bilbao, Museo Nazionale Romano, and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam—testament to their enduring relevance and artistic merit. Giuseppe Penone continues to produce new pieces, furthering his exploration of themes like identity and analogy, demonstrating a steadfast dedication to translating the profound insights gained from observing nature into transformative artworks that resonate with viewers across cultures.
