A showcase of twelve new paintings by established Italian artist Mauro Perucchetti and his inaugural exhibition with the gallery.
The show will mark Perucchetti’s homecoming exhibition after a 3-year hiatus from the Art world and celebrate his creative transition from sculptor to painter, as he brings his Pop aesthetic to the canvas for the first time.
Executed in vibrant pop colours and featuring an array of enigmatic symbols, Perucchetti’s vast canvases are a celebration of a new-found freedom in abstraction. His paintings combine influences of Surrealism, Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, allowing Perucchetti to experiment with his own subconscious and create a process that is instinctive yet meticulously precise. The artistic impact of these movements becomes apparent through Perucchetti’s spontaneous gestural brush-strokes, which expose an automatist approach to painting. Meanwhile, his visually whimsical, ever-changing shapes stimulate the mind and lure the viewer into a state of subconscious contemplation. It is this subconscious contemplation that is intrinsic to Perucchetti’s artistic practice. In his own words, ‘the images I produce (…) and the reason why I produce them are buried in the deeper layers of my mind and pertain more to the subconscious than to a conscious thinking process’.
