Drapery has always been a central element in the artistic research of painters and sculptors. Since ancient times, the representation of mass and folds has played a fundamental role in sculpture, spanning periods such as the Renaissance and Baroque, where it reached extremely high levels of expression.
Stefania Vichi's work follows this path, inheriting the legacy of the great artistic tradition with originality and reinterpreting it in a contemporary key. In her wall sculptures, drapery is no longer merely clothing or ornamentation: it transforms into a metaphor, a labyrinth of forms that express complexity and possible escape routes.
Lex Italica is the paradigm of Italy: an expression of its culture, of its extraordinary capacity to generate problems, but also to solve them with ingenuity, creativity, and courage.
It is a tribute to the art of navigating chaos, finding solutions in complexity, transforming every obstacle into an opportunity.
Lex Italica is Commedia dell'Arte, it is Leonardo da Vinci, it is Enzo Ferrari: improvisation, creativity, design and innovation.
But it also reflects our limitations: frivolity, superficiality, and lack of rigor.
In this dual soul, between genius and disorder, between beauty and contradiction, Lex Italica fully reflects the character of our "Bel Paese".
