黑料不打烊

Read our pick of the best London art exhibitions to see this month, from the stunning visuals at Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition 2025 to Ed Atkins at Tate Britain.

Giuseppe Penone (b. 1947), an artist renowned for his deep engagement with the natural world, opens Thoughts in the Roots, an exhibition that spans his expansive five-decade career.

This interplay of breath, body, and ephemerality opens 鈥淭houghts in the Roots,鈥� the most comprehensive institutional exhibition of Penone鈥檚 work ever staged in the UK.

The arte povera veteran鈥檚 passionate celebration of trees risks being eclipsed by the real ones that surround it. And a 19th-century Mexican polymath becomes the first Latin American artist to have a solo show at the National Gallery

Giuseppe Penone鈥檚 principal materials are trees, wood, leaves, plants and rocks. A new solo show in London brings together works from his long career.

This show brings together Penone鈥檚 sculptures, installations and drawings from 1969 until now.

The exhibition "Thoughts in the Roots" retraces the work of Giuseppe Penone by blending art, nature, and living matter, in a profound dialogue between sculptures and the environment.

Helsinki Biennial 2025 brings together 37 artists and collectives in its third edition, Shelter: Below and beyond, becoming and belonging, curated by Blanca de la Torre and Kati Kivinen and produced by HAM Helsinki Art Museum.

The word 鈥渉erbarium鈥� brings to mind concepts such as collection, classification, catalogue, research, and memory.

Serpentine presents Thoughts in the Roots, the most comprehensive insti- tutional exhibition of Giuseppe Penone presented in the UK.

From the moment we inhale the scent of this remarkable show 鈥� in which trees blast open and boulders perch on branches 鈥� the Italian artist intoxicates us like a shaman communing with wood sprites.

Ahead of the opening of his largest UK exhibition to date, the Italian artist discusses what will make this show unique.

Medardo Rosso (1858鈥�1928), an Italian-French sculptor and photographer, influenced art around 1900. His work impacted sculpture history, though he remains less recognized today.

鈥業n my opinion, a tree is a prime example of a perfect sculpture.鈥� Even more than other Arte Povera artists, Giuseppe Penone has devoted himself to highlighting the artistry of nature.

Our pick of the best exhibitions to see in London's galleries and museums opening in April 2025, plus a couple of cheeky additions outside the M25.
