Kunst Speak With Brask - Marco Lorenzetti

Welcome to Kunst Speak with Brask. In this podcast, we explore the world of art through the eyes of passionate art enthusiasts based in Los Angeles and New York. Together with art collector, publisher, and curator Jens-Peter Brask, we uncover inspiring perspectives, captivating stories, and memorable anecdotes from the art world. Our mission is to spark curiosity and encourage more people to connect with and appreciate art in all its forms. Join us as we embark on this creative journey together. 

In this episode we visit Marco Lorenzetti in his studio in Brooklyn, New York, where he works as a painter.
We talk about how his artistic practice has evolved over the past ten years. For much of his career, Marco has been a highly figurative artist, but his work began to change after a group exhibition he participated in with a group of friends in 2024. His paintings became looser and more abstract, marking a shift in his practice from being more illustrative towards becoming more painterly.
For Marco, the difference between drawing something and allowing something to exist through paint is profound. Paint has its own language, and understanding that language became an important part of his development as an artist.
After the exhibition, Marco decided to step away from showing his work publicly for a couple of years. Instead, he spent his time in the studio, focusing on painting and studying his craft. During this period, he began to question who he was making paintings for. He felt that he had been producing work to be collected rather than creating it for himself.
As an artist matures, Marco believes that the work should mature with them. The paintings should become a reflection of where you are in life, how you have changed, and what you have come to understand.
