The works of the artist Angela Tripi have a completely formed body, modeled naked and subsequently dressed with fabrics. Expression lines, tendons, tense muscles, open and defined fingers often emerge clearly.While a traditional statue recalls a trade or a character through the stillness of a gesture. Admiring these works, one realizes that there is always a before or an after moment. We are faced with the story of a man or a woman.
