Silvano Tessarollo's Cosmic Dialogue with Nature at Galleria Michela Rizzo
Silvano Tessarollo (Bassano del Grappa, 1956) presents "Nulla nasce dal nulla" at Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice until July 16, 2016. The exhibition draws on Lucretius' and Lavoisier's principles that nothing is destroyed but transformed. Tessarollo acts as a temporary demiurge, shaping raw materials and then allowing natural elements to alter his works. The installation dialogues with Herman de Vries' "8 burned III," a triptych of charred acacia trunks. The show invites reflection on humanity's relationship with nature and cosmic interconnectedness.
