Flavio Lucchini Art

THE LAB

The Lab at the FLA Museum, located in the Undergallery space in the Basement, is dedicated to hosting emerging artists, following a scouting logic that Lucchini has always pursued since his days as a prominent figure in the fashion world, launching young talents through his fashion magazines who would become the stars of tomorrow (designers, photographers, journalists, art directors, etc.). Every 3 months features a different artist presenting an exhibition or site-specific installation designed to resonate with Lucchini's works.

Facades – Order in Chaos by MaoSagao

from April 7 to June 30, 2025

Through the exhibition Facades – Order in Chaos, MaoSagao (an Italian artist based in Barcelona) explores the delicate balance between order and chaos in contemporary reality. The facades of urban buildings become symbols of our era: windows into a repetitive daily life, mirrors of shared solitude. The artist reflects on the sense of alienation in modern cities, increasingly resembling anonymous hives, and on the constant tension between the search for order and the awareness that every balance is fragile and temporary.

MaoSagao’s painting technique is characterized by the use of masking with acrylic colors on canvas—a meticulous process that requires multiple layers and great precision to achieve the desired effects. Each layer of color is carefully applied so that the overlaps and intersections of lines and shapes create a visually coherent and evocative balance. MaoSagao’s art does not provide answers but opens a window to an inner dialogue, encouraging viewers to find a common thread even where none seems to exist.

Completing the exhibition is kombinatorika 9! x 4^9 = 95,126,814,720, a set of nine unique tiles, each different from the others. Visitors can create their own version, distinct from any other. Just like every human being. A game, a small participatory performance, and a reflection on the power of differences.
