Works

Penone's The Hidden Life Within

Penone's sculptures, installations, and drawings are distinguished by his emphasis on process and his use of natural materials, such as clay, stone, metal, and wood.His work strives to assimilate the natural word with his artistic practice, unifying art and nature.More specifically the tree, a living organism which closely resembles a human figure, is a recurring element in Penone's oeuvre.[

 Penone created his first Albero ("Tree") sculpture in 1969, a series which continues to the present.Since this time, his practice has continued to explore and investigate the natural world and the poetic relationship between man and nature, artistic process and natural process.Wiki - fuente .
