"Just a drag"
Gorilla Lamp, by Marcantonio. White painted fiberglass resin.

JUST A DRAG a sly gorilla that holds in his mouth a large component in brass as we could hold a big flower or a pipe ... just a drag precisely.
I wanted to add to my sculptures these antique chandeliers to make them more exclusive and special, both for the brass components value and for the difficulty of the sculpture process that must be entirely done by hand around the piece of the chandelier.
To make the composition even more magical I left the electric cable as if it were torn, as if the animal had broken the piece recently,
but the light is still on.
The sculptures were made with my hands with the techniques of classical sculpture, first in clay then molded and finally reproduced and retouched.

This Limited Edition comes to you with an Authenticity Certificate, signed by Marcantonio.

Dimensions L x W x H: 70 x 67 x 63 cm.

"I never give up irony, irony is a serious thing. If a good idea is also funny, I can't resist to realize it"

Marcantonio, born '76.
He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts.
As soon as he graduated, he began working as a theatrical set designer and collaborating with various architects.
Soon he started to create unique design pieces while working on an Artistic production. Step by step the two careers began to contaminate each other and his design gets enriched with artistic concepts.
Since 2001 he has been realizing sculptures, art objects and design projects.
The connections between Man and Nature are his favorite topic, with his original interpretation of Nature’s dynamics and beauties showing Man’s attitude to alter the original.
He learned from Art how an idea can be elegant, which is why he is always looking for pure and synthetic concepts.
 "I never give up irony, irony is a serious thing. If a good idea is also funny, I can't resist to realize it"
He loves the idea that his job is a continuation of what he used to do when he was a child: to play around with anything he found and to create what his mind imagined.
Nowadays, seeking the aesthetic component and the concept, he gets his ideas from the same sources he created when playing as a child, daydreaming with what is usually around him every day.
