'I'VE NEVER SEEN A COLOR THAT WAS WRONG': ENRICO MARONE AT FRIEDMAN BENDA
at friedman benda's new york gallery, italian artist enrico marone cinzano unpacks his obsession with the beauty and logic of the natural world in his solo show, 'obsessed by nature'. ahead of the exhibition opening, designboom had the chance to speak with the artist, who talked us through his process of reimagining overlooked materials into timeless functional objects. 'I have never seen a color, a shape, a shade, or anything in nature that was wrong,' marone cinzano tells us. 'nature has incredible mathematics, physics, chemistry, ethics, philosophy. whenever I go into nature, I see answers personally. it’s beautiful, it’s correct. there is intelligence in nature.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
