Antonio Marras presents 'La geometria del caos' exhibition at Gallery De Castelli in Milan

Antonio Marras, the eclectic stylist and visual artist, is currently presenting his exhibition 'La geometria del caos' at Gallery De Castelli in Milan. The show features unstable totems, screens, and furnishings that blur the lines between function and visuality, creating a silent theater inhabited by hybrid presences. Marras describes his approach as fundamentally artisanal, emphasizing handwork over machines, and sees himself as a craftsman who transforms materials through manual labor. His collaboration with De Castelli transcends mere production to become a laboratory of sensations, where metal sublimates from raw element to expressive object. The exhibition draws inspiration from Sardinia's prehistoric nuragic bronzes and the artist's birthplace in Alghero, which he calls "the last outpost" of Italy facing Spain. Marras intentionally introduces irregularity, intuition, and myth into his work, moving in the opposite direction of rational synthesis sought by historical avant-gardes like the Wiener Werkstätte and Bauhaus. A large portal with guardian figures marks the entrance to the gallery, visible even from passing cars, leading visitors into a suspended, almost narrative environment. The artist's objects contain, reflect, illuminate, and most importantly tell stories about how materials are conceived not as surfaces to dominate but as languages to listen to.
