About The Artwork
Work of 2018 restored and modified in 2021. This work is inspired by the generation of "Millennials" (born between 1980 and 1995). A man emerging from a rock, in all his power but with his eyes covered by the same stone, as if his certainties were in reality just an illusion. Millennials are perhaps among the best educated generations of the last century, yet the economic crisis, terrorism and the global climate of insecurity have made this generation as strong as it is insecure. A living oxymoron. In 2021 the wings were added and the work was deliberately vandalized as meaning that despite having wings, a symbol of freedom and, at the same time, they are chained to the earth and to a human degradation that we see every day in the world. he work has an entirely wooden skeleton that covers a piece of a mannequin. the external part is entirely covered with small aluminum sheets subsequently painted with water-based enamels.

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.
