Sten Lex's Cut Boundaries at Wunderkammern Milan
The Italian street art duo Sten Lex, known for their invented stencil poster technique, present their second exhibition at Wunderkammern in Milan, following their 2015 show Matrici distrutte in Rome. The new show reflects on the theme of boundaries through black-and-white cartographies evoking imaginary maps and landscapes, blending realism and abstraction, mural art and paper experimentation. Their cut papers with hanging and torn residues reproduce living, mutable borders, recalling graphic design and Op Art. The duo's technique, developed since 2009, involves destroying the matrices, making each piece unique and subject to transformation over time. The exhibition transposes their work from street to gallery and back.
