With The pine appears to listen, the fir to wait Galerie Isabelle Lesmeister presents the first solo exhibition by Italian artist Beatrice Pediconi (b. 1972 in Rome, Italy).
Pediconi explores the poetic possibilities of light, time, and material. Water serves as her central medium for creating subtle, floating pictorial spaces that speak of transience, fragility, and states of transition. Through the deliberate alteration of materials and processes, Pediconi experimentally explores new visual possibilities. The artist transfers delicate emulsions from Polaroids onto color-pigmented canvases and paper. These minimalist, organic forms evoke floral imagery and stand as poetic testimonies of loss, renewal, and hope.
The title of the exhibition—“The pine appears to listen, the fir to wait”—is taken from an aphorism by Nietzsche and evokes a quiet, almost meditative perception of nature, in which trees become bearers of time, attention, and expectation. Much like Nietzsche’s trees, Pediconi’s images appear both attentive and expectant—they capture a fleeting state in which perception, time, and material enter into a silent dialogue with one another.
