About the Item

La scultura, a forma di un ideale e perfetto alveare, sottolinea anche il desiderio dell'artista di mettere l'accento sull'influenza che le api hanno rispetto ai cambiamenti legati al movimento della terra nell'universo. Per evidenziarlo ha preso in esame le misure del perielio e afelio, che rispettivamente indicano la minima e massima distanza fra la terra e il sole. E ha riportato le stesse proporzioni alla scultura, che conferiscono la forma ovale. La forma ovale ricorda anche l'uovo, simbolo di vita e nascita. La scultura è realizzata in ceramica con una patina color miele difficile da riprodurre, l'artista si avvale della consulenza e dei forni della più quotata fornace artistica italiana per realizzarla: Gatti di Faenza. La scultura è completata da sei api in bronzo rimovibili a piacimento. Un'opera elegante, facile da collocare - su una libreria, un camino, come centro tavola - e ricca di significati naturalistici e scientifici. Nel contempo asseconda quell'originalità richiesta dall'arte contemporanea. L’eclettica e longeva carriera di Jessica Carroll, artista italiana di padre americano, si esprime soprattutto attraverso la scultura. La scultrice, piemontese d'adozione, padroneggia molti materiali. Sa dare corpo alle storie naturali più affascinanti e curiose. Fin da bambina ha esplorato con il padre i grandi parchi degli Stati Uniti. Dove Jessica ha imparato a osservare e assimilare la natura e chi la abita, con tutti i sensi all'erta. Lettrice curiosa, sviluppa con installazioni spettacolari alcuni degli eventi naturali ancora intrisi di mistero, come lo spostamento di mandrie, greggi, pesci e sciami in tutto il mondo per riprodursi, nutrirsi e morire. Utilizza un linguaggio d'avanguardia, guidato da un'innata eleganza con cui sa raccontare storie originali. Le sue installazioni coniugano la visione dell'artista contemporaneo, che sa trarre vantaggio da materiali moderni e non convenzionali, con uno sguardo altrettanto nuovo; allo stesso tempo, sono il risultato di lunghe osservazioni in natura e di ricerche approfondite, che generano conoscenze che permettono di sintetizzare concetti complessi, movimenti di masse immense, episodi che altrimenti sarebbero rappresentati in spazi circoscritti. Per questo motivo, lo studio delle api e della loro indispensabile e articolata struttura è stato al centro della sua arte fin dagli esordi. Nel corso degli anni, ha allargato i suoi interessi a branchi di api che si spostano per centinaia di chilometri attraverso le praterie. Le anguille viaggiano ogni anno intorno al Mar dei Sargassi per riprodursi, in alcuni casi facendo il giro del mondo, e gli stormi di api attraversano i nostri cieli in cerca di cibo, clima e nutrimento ideale, coprendo distanze inimmaginabili. Jessica Carroll ha il dono di dare forma ai grandi misteri della natura.

Grave stone naturalistic cross wrought iron outdoor sculpture, gold bee
By Ivan Zanoni
Located in Milan, IT
Calvary naturalistic tree. Unique piece, not replicable. Hand-forged in wrought iron by the outstanding Italian sculptor Ivan Zanoni. This sculpture in the form of a Cross is animated by natural elements and insects and is one of the most striking examples of the liveliness and singularity with which Ivan Zanoni knows how to forge iron and mould it according to his own sensitivity. The Cross was the sculptural work chosen to welcome visitors to the 2024 solo exhibition that the prestigious Mart Museum in Rovereto - one of Italy's leading institutions for contemporary art - has dedicated to him. Renowned for his wrought iron creations, Ivan Zanoni is internationally recognised as one of today's most significant iron sculptors. His mastery of the medium lends an organic vitality to the metal, particularly in his evocative depictions of plants and animals. Born and living in Caldes (Trentino, Italy), Zanoni inherited his passion and skill from his father, Luciano Zanoni. A revered craftsman, Zanoni created a four-metre monumental olive tree sculpture...
