The perception of nature and landscape is a central theme for the Italian artist Gianni Caravaggio (b. 1968). His poetic sculptures and installations aim to arouse in the viewer the memory of feelings evoked by the experience of nature and focus on the essential unity of man and nature. In his timeless works Gianni Caravaggio examines the invocation of unconscious images of nature which result from the relationship between material, space, time and man. A key expression here is landscape which no longer represents, but is to be conveyed as "pure perception" in the sense of Kazimir Malevich. The combination of traditional materials - bronze, marble or wood - with everyday substances such as talcum powder or sugar, as well as the presentation of the sculptures directly on the floor, exerts a unique attraction by virtue of their reduction.
Nature and imagination unite in Gianni Caravaggio’s installations.
Italian artist Gianni Caravaggio creates poetic sculptures and installations that aim to evoke the experience of being in nature. Focusing on the essential union between humans and nature, Caravaggio uses unconventional materials such as talcum powder, sugar, and lentils in combination with more traditional materials like bronze, marble, wood, and paper. His works are often presented directly on the floor, functioning as a gateway into a new realm of perception and memory.
Focused on the relationship between material, space, time, and man, Caravaggio’s works are not meant to be representative, but rather convey the idea of nature as “pure perception,” a concept defined by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich. Illustrated with fifty color images, Gianni Caravaggio: When Nature was Young offers an introduction to the artist’s unique oeuvre.
