I wrote my dissertation partly on Penone, it was great to go and see his work in such an intimate, space part of the Gagosian gallery.
Intersecting Gaze / Sguardo Incrociato
'Penone’s artful expressions entail a serene and meditative return to an
innate state of being.'
His work is beautiful, the re-creation of the tree's structure in bronze is magical.
The structure emits fragility but the material is grounding.
—Giuseppe Penone
