Achille Perilli's Comic-Inspired Works at Tega Gallery, Milan

Tega Gallery in Milan is exhibiting Achille Perilli's 'Fumetti' series, created in the 1960s. Perilli (Rome, 1927) subtly incorporated comic book aesthetics into his paintings, distinguishing himself from the aggressive Pop Art approach. His works feature light, material colors on dark backgrounds, with quick sketch-like drawings resembling graffiti. Early 1961 pieces are abstract, soon evoking comic layouts, followed by circles, free numbers, and abstract forms outside panels. A 1968 work on display shows a shift toward geometric-conceptual abstraction. Perilli moved from informal to two-dimensional art, using comics as a pretext for a personal '3D' perspective. The exhibition offers insight into the evolution of art and society in the 1960s.
