The latest painting series made in 2017-23 is based on 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.
About the process: a considerable amount of water fill the potencial shape and slowly leads colors to growing into to the final form. This process may takes even one month to complete and only by such a long time the passage of time becomes visible.
