Works by Lorenzo Puglisi

Lorenzo Puglisi (Biella, 1971) is author of a pictorial research characterized by the widespread use of black colour on the canvas which creates an absolute dark background, where the emanating streams of light are able to define volumes, faces, parts of the body, such as presences captured in an expression or a gesture, as the result of a long journey towards the essence of the representation and full of references to the history of oil painting from 1600 until today. Since 2015 his artistic research focuses on painting large canvases related to masterpieces of the past and filtered by his iconography, linking his work with the most classic tradition.

He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in public and private spaces in Italy and abroad, including MUDEC in Milan, CAC La Traverse in Paris, Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples, the Sagrestia del Bramante in Milan and the Crypt of King's Cross St. Pancras Church in London.

Future projects include an exhibition at the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga, Latvia in May 2020 in collaboration with the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

He lives and works in Bologna.
