Rapier's Art

Rapier's Art wants to express violence, not as a destructive force, but as a dynamic principle that runs through every aspect of life, in thoughts, words, and works: for Rapier, violence, properly managed, is the characteristic force of creative gesture.

​

Combat weapons, transformed into pictorial instruments, strike the surface, shift color and engrave matter:  the impact does not destroy, but transforms and the result, indefinable a priori, emerges from the dynamics of the gesture, made up of timing, distance, speed and intention.

​​

​

Each work is the result of a precise, ritualistic and controlled action, in which violence is translated into creative energy.

​

​

Aware of the moral weight inherent in the use of instruments of offense, Rapier assumes it upon himself, through a symbolic gesture: a drop of his own blood seals every work, as an act of atonement and ethical responsibility towards the process that generated the work.

​

Rapier's Art is an artistic and philosophical gymnasium, where violence does not hurt, but transforms, does not destroy, but creates.
