Italian artist Giuseppe Penone is renown for his art that incorporates nature and man , and his 2012 expo , The Hidden Life Within , excavates a monolithic tree ’s early contour .
The Hidden Life Within was originally shown off at the Art Gallery of Ontario . To occur up with the piece , he took a monolithic Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree trunk and carved it away , halo by ring , to show off the tree ’s earliest ego .
The result is remarkable , indicate off where the large Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree come from , and how it convert with class of growth .
This was n’t the first time that Penone work with trees : in 1980 , he create Tree of 12 Metres , which was exhibit at theTate in London :
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree of 12 Metres was made by scraping away the wood from a felled Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , which had first been roughly sawn into a ray of light , to reveal its internal social organization of narrow core and developing limb . Penone ’s bearing was to return the tree to the form it had had at an other stage of its growth , make visible instinctive process which are normally cover .
