Lucia Arcelli’s solo exhibition, titled “Innesti. Where the Earth Meets the Feminine,” explores the connection between the history of the planet and the experience of the female body. The artist’s work analyzes the relationship between the memory of subordination and the awareness of vulnerability, avoiding purely political or idealized approaches to focus on the female figure as a historical subject.
Arcelli’s painterly exploration combines the structure of classical figurative art with elements of informal abstraction, evoking the concept of the “Eternal Feminine.” A distinctive feature of the artist’s technique is the use of veils, in which light fabrics envelop the bodies to create a boundary between the visible and the invisible.
The exhibition is organized according to a constellation-like structure, in which the female figure serves as the visual center around which the other works are arranged, conceived as emotional satellites and chromatic variations. The artist’s intent is to use painting as a tool for poetic healing, transforming historical scars into a connecting element between humanity and the living world.
The exhibition is being held at the Sofi Gallery, an organization active in the national and international art market that also operates through a branch in Shanghai and participates in art fairs, with the goal of promoting the growth and visibility of the selected artists.
