Anemone, glass, 92 x 42 x 22 x cm, Irene Rezzonico (Aachen, Germany 1946) studied drawing in Germany. In 1965 she decided to emigrate to Italy to complete her studies there and also starts her artistic career there. In the eighties and nineties, a long stay in Arizona enables her to come into contact with the culture and history of the Hopi Indians. The artist's work has always expressed the problem of minorities. Some of her works are dedicated to the Hopi population and then she proceeded to interpret the world of the deaf, as well as tackling themes related to violence and finally the theme of nature protection. This last theme in particular has given rise to a cycle of glass, sculptural works of natural persons, plants and animals, often exotic, but especially with a risk of extinction. A work as a symbol of hope and struggle like that of the Armadillo as her favorite subject. A gentle animal with a long life that is very important for the ecosystem in which he lives and is defenseless despite his robust shield that is characteristic., Condition: the work offered is in good condition.
