At the Musée Arts et Histoire, on the Cote D’Azure, in France, examples of the work of Gaetano Fiore will be on display from 21 July until 2 August 2008.

With their seemingly bright bold colours, Fiore’s works combine geometric designs with the gentle curves and forms of the principle elements of trees. From branches and twigs, to trunks and entire woodlands. Yet, despite the use, at times, of a variety of powerful colours by the artist, the resulting images are both striking, and, at the same time, encourage the viewer to hesitate and contemplate each element of the work. Indeed, it is almost as if the artist is provoking reflection on the part of the viewer.

On show will be a selection generously sized images which have been inspired by sections from Paolo Puppa’s play “L’albero di Giuda” – ‘Judah’s tree’. Puppa (profile in Italian) is a professor of theatre history at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.

The Musée Arts et Histoire , can be found at 103 rue Carnot , Bormes Les Mimosas, on the Cote D’Azure, France. If you happen to find yourself in the area at the time, then this exhibition of Fiore’s work presents a great opportunity to view and get to know this artist’ at first hand.
