La Geometria del Caos
“I never begin with an idea. I don’t have an initial project that comes first, that I then merely execute. Every time, I confront what is called the blank page: a total absence of cues, of reasons. This is a condition that returns every day, every time I begin something. And perhaps it is precisely in that emptiness that something happens. The fact that the material slips through my hands, that it surprises me, is what fascinates me most: it means I must follow it.” Antonio Marras
Limited-edition works of art conceived and developed through a deep dialogue between art and material, capable of opening up infinite expressive possibilities.
Totems that defy gravity, screens that seem written in a forgotten alphabet, lamps and mirrors, furniture that appears to breathe at the mere touch of moonlight: limited-edition works of art conceived, designed, and decorated by Antonio Marras in De Castelli workshops.
“The fact that this material slips from my hands, that it surprises me, is the most interesting thing. Metal must be followed. It has limits, like a hedge: you have to lift your gaze, surpass them, go beyond. And it is precisely there that something happens: those limits become possibilities, opening up to organic forms that begin to come to life.”
