Angelica Lorenzi (b. 1990, Italy) is a Los Angeles-based artist, designer, and educator whose work navigates the intersection of sculpture, digital art and spatial practice. Trained as an architect, she holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Innsbruck and a Master of Architecture with distinction from the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she studied under Hani Rashid.
Lorenzi’s work has been exhibited internationally, with highlights including the Biennale di Venezia, MAK Museum in Vienna, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Cleo the Gallery, Modest Common and Galerie Lulla. She is a faculty member at SCI-Arc, where she teaches design studios and seminars investigating new materialities and speculative futures.
Her research examines the coalescence of two main themes: the interplay between humanity and the ecosystem and ornament as an instrument to originate contemporary mythologies. Lorenzi’s pieces bring the natural world into sharp focus—not as a passive backdrop but as an active agent within her imagined ecosystems. Her works teem with biomorphic patterns and geological textures, conjuring surreal landscapes that oscillate between the organic and the otherworldly. Her work thrives in the tension between seduction and unease, using the excesses of adornment as metaphorical armor—both shielding and exposing. Her intricate, overflowing surfaces challenge notions of decoration as trivial or superfluous, suggesting instead that ornamentation is a complex language of concealment, revelation, and transformation. These works demand engagement, asking viewers to navigate the boundary between beauty and discomfort, seduction and critique, while confronting questions of protection, identity, and ecological coexistence.
