ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this work the artist wanted to represent the conflict that often arises between man and nature. An artificial structure broken in two by an earthquake and from whose cracks life is born. However destructive the force of nature is, it always leads to the birth of life. Nature is not conflictual, it is man who cannot accept the indifference with which not only nature but the universe itself relate to human life. We are part of a whole and at the same time we try to separate ourselves from it. The work is made on two wooden supports assembled together in some points. (the cracks reveal in some places a void that partially reveals the color of the background on which the work is hung. If for example the work is hung on a red wall, between the two cracks you will see the red of the wall). Two leaves of a synthetic fern sprout from the cracks. The whole structure is covered with aluminum foil.

Born in 1980, Lele De Bonis lives and works as a set designer for several companies in the theater, cinema, amusement parks and outdoor scenography sectors. At the same time he has developed a personal artistic path focused on the concept of recovery and assembly, through which he represents what strikes him most in real life. The human being is the center of his works and he usually represents it in a cynical and grotesque key, without ever condemning it. Wood and aluminum are the materials he uses the most. Beyond the message, their constructive juxtaposition allows him to play and experience infinite alchemical relationships between hot and cold materials. Starting from the concept of “ready made”, through his assemblages, Lele is constantly searching for an aesthetic dialogue aimed at creating a material and chromatic balance between the different materials within a composition. His works are a continuous alternation between explicit references to the current historical context and a more abstract, introspective research.
