Doha, October 26 (QNA) - HE Chairperson of Qatar Museums (QM) Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Than today opened Giuseppe Penone: The Inner Flow of Life, a major survey exploring Penone's enduring interest in the synergies between artistic and natural processes, at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ). 

  The exhibition brings together works from early in Penone's career, including Rovesciare i propri occhi (Reversing One's Eyes) (1970), with those created just this year, such as Vene di bronzo (Bronze Veins) (2026), to trace how the artist has articulated themes such as touch, growth, pressure, memory, and transformation. In addition, Qatar Museums will install a new public sculpture by the artist, Idee di Pietra, at the Old Doha Port. 

  Giuseppe Penone: The Inner Flow of Life is organised across five custom-built pavilions in NMoQ's Baraha, each dedicated to a material that has been at the center of Penone's practice (leaves, porcelain, thorns, marble, and leather). Putting works from different periods in conversation, the exhibition includes sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs, and moving-image works to reveal Penone's continued attention to the physical qualities of matter and to the marks produced by the human body upon its surroundings.
