MEET THE ARTISTS
Saturday 14th September a special guided tour to the group exhibition together with sculptors to better know and understand the artworks shown at the open-air GALLERY of the Chianti Sculpture Park!
«Questa mostra è nata, dopo la nostra visita lo scorso gennaio ad alcuni artisti della collezione permanente del Parco, che vivono e lavorano stabilmente nei dintorni di Pietrasanta. Il nostro tour è iniziato dallo Studio Artco di Nicolas Bertoux, autore dell’opera Coin de Bois Blanc (Angolo di bosco bianco), creato insieme a sua moglie, la scultrice Cynthia Sah.
La seconda tappa è stata quella allo Studio Pescarella, uno spazio artistico fondato da due nostri amati artisti, Jaya Schuerch autrice dell’opera Harmonic Divergence (Divergenza armonica) e lo scultore di Twist and Shout l’americano Neal Barab insieme a Lotte Thuenker. Qui scultori da tutto il mondo hanno la possibilità di trascorrere da 1 a 6 mesi per creare piccole e grandi opere d’arte in un ambiente cooperativo e creativo.
E da questi incontri tra arte, risate e una calda ospitalità abbiamo pensato che una mostra temporanea con artisti internazionali già presenti al Parco ed altri nuovi al nostro pubblico potesse essere perfetta per il nuovo spazio della Galleria. Un percorso espositivo che si fonde perfettamente con l’esposizione permanente, mantenendone caratteristiche e unicità: anche qui, infatti, l’arte è il mezzo per esaltare la natura e la sua bellezza, per riflettere sugli interventi dell’uomo e apre le porte ad artisti locali ed internazionali chiamati a dialogare con il bosco in un continuo percorso site-specific».
