Roberto Sironi in Paris

During Paris Design Week, Gallery S. Bensimon will showcase Fuoco by Italian designer Roberto Sironi, a project that combines nature, design and art.

Roberto Sironi, Fuoco, 2017
In this work Roberto Sironi has sought out the remains of burnt trees to reflect on the intrinsic value of the entropic process that models matter according to the laws of nature. The Fuoco collection was born from the collaboration between two prestigious art and design venues: the Gallery S. Bensimon in Paris and the historical artistic foundry Fonderia Artistica Battaglia in Milan.

 

The project was born in situ searching for natural elements that already featured sculptural aspects, which then became works of art through bronze casting. Some of these fragments of trees have been transformed into art pieces, others have been burnt again, modelled, sculpted and then casted through the lost-wax casting process: Sironi’s work therefore completes a sculpture started by nature. The exhibition at Gallery S. Bensimon highlights the linguistic and material research and experimentation involved. The glow of the fire through the reflections of the glossy bronze, the pure black bronze patinas and the intensity of the raw textures with burn marks and cracks.
