Solo exhibition
Giuseppe Penone. Impronte di Luce
October 16 – December 22, 2023
Gagosian, Paris
The exhibition that opens these days in Paris (Gagosian, rue de Ponthieu) is focus on a recurrent theme of Penone’s artistic research, the imprint, now explored through a series of new drawings and paintings entitled Impronte di Luce (Imprints of Light). The gestures of the hands imprinted on paper with ink and transported onto canvas by using Le Corbusier’s chromatic palette, enlarged within the perfect proportions of a square, reveal themselves as unexpected images of bodies, to be compared with the tormented forms of a past work, Maldoror (1986-1988).
