About The Artwork

This sculpture is a reinterpretation of the Statue of Liberty. the sculpture is made of iron, on a wooden base and is made using the welding technique. The work features ferrous elements recovered from antique markets, or from old abandoned farms. each element that constitutes the sculpture represents, in part, a piece of history of the tools used in Italy in the distant past and not. the sculpture was colored with water-based enamels. Liberty Machine questions the meaning of the word "freedom" and its inappropriate use that is made in the world in order to disguise exclusive economic and partly political purposes. The base reproduces the screen of a slot machine and the arm of the statue therefore seems to be the lever that operates it.

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.
