Tatiana Trouvé – August

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED ARTIST TATIANA TROUVÉ JOINS THE PARLEY MOVEMENT WITH A LIMITED-EDITION PRINT OF HER ORIGINAL WORK, AUGUST, SUPPORTING PARLEY’S GLOBAL CLEANUP NETWORK

Internationally renowned Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé has dedicated a limited-edition print based on her original drawing, August, to support Parley and the initiatives of our Global Cleanup Network.

August, was the first creation in her drawing series, The Great Atlas of Disorientation that was exhibited at the Gagosian Beverly Hills. The concept for her piece began with an image of the Amazon rainforest burning in the month of August 2019, when the Amazon, Siberia, and Indonesia experienced devastating fires. For Trouvé, the press images of these fires, as the haze of smoke lingered, began to resemble landscape paintings of the Romantic period such as those of Caspar David Friedrich, Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. However, in this case, it was the landscape itself that was in ruins. The work evolved into an investigation of the history of depicting landscapes, from painting to land art, and its political dimensions when witnessing dramatic events or disasters.

The limited-edition print helps to support Parley’s global mission to protect the oceans, climate and life, and marks the start of the artist’s collaboration with Parley. 100% of the proceeds will help fund plastic interception, education and communication, material science and eco-innovation.
