The exhibition AMAZING NATURE is being held at the Silkeborg Bad Art Centre, Denmark. Forming the whole program for the year 2023 at the museum, Amazing Nature features works from more than 30 international contemporary artists who investigate the relationship between humans and nature.

Francesca Virginia Coppola‘s contribution to the exhibition is a site-specific work that uses natural elements collected from the forest and the lake path surrounding the art center. The materials were found on the ground and were carefully collected without altering the landscape. With the gathered materials, she created a series of 23 artworks entitled ‘From Lake Ørnsø’. In each artwork, Coppola presents a natural element and its corresponding pigment. The pigment was extracted from the element by hand in her studio and was used to create rectangular and circular forms. In the form of powder, each pigment from the different elements produces a different color, resulting in a range of organic shades in the final artworks.

The exhibition AMAZING NATURE includes a diverse and wide representation of works: guests visiting the exhibition will have a holistic experience, with site-specific works in dialogue with the spirit of the place or the concrete spatial possibilities.
