Covering his work from the late 1990s to the present with over a hundred installations, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and films, the catalogue includes studies by the art historians Kaira M. Cabañas and Flora Katz. It also features a conversation between the artist and the writer and curator Lauren Cornell, as well as texts by Nathalie Ergino, director of the Institut d'art contemporain (Villeurbanne\/Rhône-Alpes), and the curators of the show at Pirelli HangarBicocca, Lucia Aspesi and Fiammetta Griccioli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Steegmann Mangrané's work is characterised by a poetic approach in which geometric and abstract forms intersect with natural elements, creating an imaginary realm with recurrent motifs like leaves, trees, and insects. These elements prompt reflection on the reality we inhabit. The artist uses different media for the creation of his works, giving priority to a \u003ci\u003emodus operandi\u003c\/i\u003e whereby technical characteristics are intrinsically intertwined with the process of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMangrané's interest in biology has led him to investigate complex ecological systems and introduce the natural world into his works, with numerous references to the rainforest in Brazil, including branches, leaves, and insects. Combined with geometric shapes and abstract motifs, these elements encourage reflection on the complex dynamics of the elements surrounding us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430366167276,"sku":"9788857243542","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857243542.jpg?v=1774520353","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/daniel-steegmann-mangrane-by-lucia-aspesi-9788857243542","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
