David Tremlett, Untitled
A large wall drawing measuring 235 meters decorates one of the buildings in the plant area adjacent to the landfill. Once again, the artist drew inspiration from the colors of nature, creating a perfect intertwining of the landscape and the structures of the plant. In this case, the colors selected by the artist are ochre, pink, brown, and various shades of gray, reflecting the surrounding hills, which always serve as a decisive factor and source of inspiration for the conception of a new work to be realized around Peccioli.
The wall drawing is structured from a geometric grid and consists of a sequence of abstract forms arranged and distributed on the surfaces according to criteria that prioritize attention to proportion and spatial relationships arising from their combination and assembly.
The close relationship the artist maintains with the architecture he intervenes upon—regardless of whether it is an ancient building or a new construction—is evidenced by the careful manner in which he engages with a given environmental situation. This has been evident in previous works he created in the Peccioli area (Wall Drawing for Carriageway Wall 1, 2017, Drawing for Carriageway Wall 2, Silo Surfaces, 2018 in Legoli, and Via di mezzo, 2019 in Ghizzano). Tremlett understands that when he works on an architectural structure, he is enacting a process of transmutation that affects the community and the social reality surrounding it. The artist's unique ability lies in his empathy with the place, its sounds, scents, and the past associated with it.
The colors of the work also create a delicate dialogue with the tones that prevail in Remo Salvadori's piece located above the building. This subtle relationship is made of correspondences in color and form. Just like in a musical score, while Salvadori's intervention is modulated on curving and rounded elements, creating slow and expansive movements, Tremlett's work is characterized by a syncopated and dynamic rhythm formed by a sequence of pictorial figures that unfolds along the entire length of the building's walls.
Remo Salvadori, Germoglio
This titanic work places space as the primary reference, interpreted as a creative source. Remo Salvadori creates a piece in Peccioli for the second time, following his Nel Momento, installed at the north entrance of the town in 2020.
Germoglio originates from an insight and was first realized in 1983. Its form, in the artist's words, is "a figure that arises from the relationship, from the meeting of five circles originating from five centers, a true focus." It could be defined as a geometric representation of a living form in a process of growth. Some visible construction lines within the figure not only clarify its development but also symbolically reinforce its expression.
Initially created in two dimensions as a drawing, the work was later developed into three dimensions to give it solidity. In a further elaboration, which will ultimately determine the impact of the work in Peccioli, an arch appears, gently resting protectively over the figure. In this way, in line with the title of the work, Salvadori has progressively developed the form over the decades.
