Affinità elettive by Lorenzo and Simona Perrone: A unique work of art
Discover Affinità elettive by Lorenzo and Simona Perrone, a work that explores the bond between books, memory, and identity through the evocative power of materials. On view in the group exhibition <20 15×15/20×20 XII Edition at Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE in Varese. The two Italian artists transform the book into a sculpture—an emblem of culture and a reflection on our time.
The artists: Lorenzo and Simona Perrone
Lorenzo Perrone (Milan, 1944) and Simona Vanzetto (Florence, 1958) have collaborated for over twenty years on the LibriBianchi project. Their practice focuses on the book as an archetypal object, using materials such as plaster, glue, water, barbed wire, glass, and wood. The result is a powerful visual language where art meets cultural and social activism.
Description
In Affinità elettive, a small white book takes on a powerful sculptural presence: fragments, connections, and textured surfaces convey a profound relationship between form and content. The materials, both fragile and raw, become metaphors for the connection between human beings and knowledge, between empathy and belonging. The artwork emerges as an intimate yet universal object.
Conclusion
Affinità elettive stands out for its conceptual strength and poetic clarity. Discover this striking and thoughtful piece in the <20 15×15/20×20 XII Edition exhibition at Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE in Varese. An invitation to read, observe, and feel with renewed vision and awareness.
