Surprise surprise, I’m featuring yet another member of the arte povera movement, Giuseppe Penone, who brings it together with the raw nature of land art, emphasising the power of the natural world and the interaction we have with it. While his work is often not necessarily beautiful, there is something deeply elegant about the way he works with materials. Penone often works with trees, stripping layers from them to reveal, in a way, the inner character of something inside not previously visible.
