Arne Quinze at OCA: Ceramorphia and I'm a Gardener

When: 25/04/2026 - 01/11/2026
Where: San Marcello Piteglio, OCA – Oasi Dynamo (Tuscany)

Belgian artist Arne Quinze brings a twofold project to OCA that combines a landscape installation with studio work: Ceramorphia, designed to interact with the Apennine environment, and the solo exhibition I'm a Gardener in the site's exhibition space. The initiative highlights a direct dialogue between artwork and nature, turning the reserve's trail into an immersive experience.

Ceramorphia avoids literal natural representation; its ceramic elements reformulate organic shapes and growths, prompting reflection on how human activity reshapes ecosystems. The solo show gathers paintings and canvases that use chromatic tension and layered surfaces to convey the vital energy of human–nature relations.

OCA's path is conceived as a curated itinerary where each piece responds to its setting. Quinze's contribution joins other site-specific works and architectural interventions across the reserve — from Kengo Kuma's pavilion to pieces blending poetry, architecture and contemporary technologies — opening fresh perspectives for contemplation.

• Highlights: Ceramorphia as an environmental reflection device; I'm a Gardener focusing on biodiversity through painting.
• Visitor tips: wear suitable footwear and clothing for natural trails; the route crosses woods and clearings.
• Publication: the exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Metilene.

Under ongoing artistic direction, OCA continues to evolve: new installations alter the rhythm of the walk and expand the relationships between artwork and landscape, making visits occasions to reconsider the balance between built space and the natural world.
