This young Italian artist is exhibiting for the first time in France. He
invites us to explore his very particular world, which is at once dreamlike,
metaphysical and organic. The exhibited works – all very recent
installations (of which the oldest is a fixed cypress tree, Come se, dating
from 2001) – are inhabited by notions of the infinite, the sacred, and
cyclic time. They develop a poetry of time and space, from the infinitely
small (the worm) to the infinitely large (the heavens). The artist delight in defying the eternity of the sacred through concrete and organic
experimentations, as incarnated by La degenarazione di Parsifal
(Natività), an installation that depicts Man’s demiurgic temptation and Nature’s power of regeneration: the worms in flour become butterflies in this construction in degeneration.

Francesco Gennari was born in Italy in 1973.
