Abstract (English)

"The Tree: From the Sublime to the Social includes a wide selection of artistic perspectives focused on the tree as inspiration and a subject of investigation. The exhibition incorporates historical images of the forest that evoke the grandeur and power of the natural world and includes works by contemporary artists who use the tree as a device to consider abstraction and figuration, as well as to question humankind’s relationship with the natural environment, especially the growing sense of alienation from the natural world. Some artists depict trees as a resource for economic development and the devastating consequences of severe logging practices, while others present life-affirming projects that engaged in both metaphorical and actual tree-planting projects." -- Publisher's website.
