ENRICO MAGNANI

A collection inspired by

the purity, simplicity and elegance of tao

in this series of three-dimensional works, The ancient meditated gestures of millenary tradition are taken up and fixed in the MATTER. the Strength of the stones is placed on delicate velvet: OPPOSITES meet in a union that evokes the laws of the TAO.

Each work is associated with a response from the I Ching, the famous Chinese oracle, an integral part of the Taoist tradition. The coin present in the
artworks is the magic object used to ask the oracle
and get the answer.
