Enrico Zecchini

Italian artist, living and working in Berlin since 2015.
In the past 15 years i've been working with painting, sculpture, ceramic and graphic design.
Painting has been the main focus of my research.
The latest painting series made in 2017-18 is based in the Aristotelian metaphysics concept of ENTELECHY - from Ancient Greek entelékheia coined by Aristotle from entelès “complete” tèlos “accomplishment” èkho “to have” - or rather the complete realisation and final form of some potential concept or function, the conditions under which a potential thing becomes actualized.

A particular type of motivation, need for self-determination, and inner strength directing life and growth to become all one is capable of being; the need to actualize one’s beliefs; having both a personal vision and the ability to actualize that vision from within.

The Italian artist Enrico “EZ” Zecchini represents the first step of a new research project focussed on creating input and conditions needed to actualize a potential form. Goethe designed the Entelechy as the archetype of plants in the same way the painting lives and develops by it self through a long process of self-determination.
