In the panorama of contemporary Italian figurative painting, Luciano Perolini emerges as an original and coherent figure, capable of uniting narrative sensitivity and chromatic research in a poetry that can be traced to a modern post-impressionism, where reality is filtered through emotion, memory and light. Cremonese painter, Perolini has built over time a personal language that stands out for the expressive force of his portraits and for a direct, immediate painting, charged with chromatic vibrations and psychological depth.

His work fits into that figurative tradition which, from impressionism, evolves toward a more emotional and subjective painting. His works do not merely represent; they interpret: color becomes living matter, the brushstroke becomes dynamic, while the figure emerges as the protagonist of a human story. It is no coincidence that Luciano Perolini has often been defined as a painter capable of “capturing the soul” of his subjects, a quality that characterizes his best-known production, that of portraits.

The artist’s recent exhibition trajectory testifies to a growing critical attention to his work. In May 2019, Perolini was featured at the Galleria ArTeatro in Crema, where he presented a significant selection of his production, consolidating the bond with the territory and with the local audience. A few weeks later, in June 2019, Milan welcomed the artist at Kasa dei Libri, with the show Dentro quella mordente nostalgia, dedicated to Alda Merini. The exhibition, composed of twenty portraits of the poetess, represented an intense and personal homage to Merini, realized with intimate and vibrant painting.

The following year marks another step in the artist’s exhibition path. In January 2020, Perolini participated in the Milan Culture Fair, bringing his painting into a culturally expansive event. On this occasion, his figurative production dialogued with the public in a multidisciplinary context, confirming his ability to speak to a broad and diverse audience.

In April 2020, Perolini’s painting found a particularly meaningful placement at the Alda Merini House Foundation in Milan, a symbolic place deeply connected to the poet. This exhibition represents a moment of synthesis of his artistic research, where the portrait becomes memory and testimony, turning into a bridge between art and poetry.

These exhibitions — from Galleria ArTeatro to Kasa dei Libri, from the Culture Fair to the Alda Merini House Foundation — outline a coherent and growing path, placing Luciano Perolini among the most interesting contemporary figurative painters on the Lombard scene. His works, characterized by a vibrant brushwork and a strong emotional component, confirm his belonging to a contemporary post-impressionism capable of combining tradition and modernity.

In an era dominated by artistic languages often conceptual, Perolini chooses the path of authentic, direct, human painting. His art tells faces, stories, memories. And it is precisely in this narrative and luminous dimension that his most authentic mark is found: that of a painter of time and memory, capable of transforming reality into painting emotion.
