About the Item
The oval sculpture is made of ceramic with a honey-coloured patina that is difficult to produce, and the artist collaborated with Italy's best artistic kiln, Gatti.
The sculpture is completed by six removable bronze bees. An elegant work, easy to place, and rich in naturalistic meanings.
The eclectic and long-lived career of Jessica Carroll, an Italian artist with an American father, is expressed above all through sculpture.
The sculptor, a Piedmontese by adoption, has mastered many materials. She knows how to give substance to the most fascinating and curious natural stories. Since childhood, she has explored the great parks of the United States with her father. Where Jessica learned to observe and assimilate nature and those who live in it, with all her senses alert.
Curious reader, she develops with spectacular installations some of the natural events still imbued with mystery, such as the moving herds, flocks, fish, and swarms around the globe to reproduce, feed, and die. She uses an avant-garde language, led by an innate elegance with which he knows how to tell original stories.
Her installations combine the vision of the contemporary artist, who knows how to benefit from modern and unconventional materials, with an equally new outlook; at the same time, they are the result of long observations in nature and in-depth research, which generate knowledge that makes it possible to synthesise complex concepts, movements of immense masses, episodes that would otherwise be represented in circumscribed spaces.
For this reason, the study of bees and their indispensable and articulated structure have been at the centre of her art since her early days. Over the years, she has broadened her interests to include herds of bees that move hundreds of kilometres across the prairies.
Eels travel around the Sargasso Sea every year to reproduce, in some cases travelling around the world, and flocks of bees cross our skies in search of food, climate and ideal nourishment, covering unimaginable distances. Jessica Carroll has a gift for shaping nature's great mysteries.
