of simple biomorphic elements and sophisticated symbols, nature provides an inexhaustible pretext for the construction of imagery. The four installations that constitute Effetto Natura, a stroll within an ideal garden, a synthesis of the expressions that characterize the current
European artistic scene, do not ever fully correspond to what we think we know about botany and the laws of physics, about natural
scenarios or artificial reconstructions, about human proportions in relation to the dimensions of the plant world. Artists like Henrik
Håkansson and Florian Hüttner, who directly observe and record the landscape, are exhibited alongside Paul Morrison and Richard Woods, who examine the motifs of nature through a cultural lens, like a collection of pre-existing signs, a tapestry of representation
and decoration.
