Pierluigi Pusole's 'Io sono dio' cycle featured at I Martedì Critici in Rome

artist · 2026-05-05

On May 10, the seventh season of I Martedì Critici continues with artist Pierluigi Pusole (Turin, 1963) in conversation with curators Alberto Dambruoso and Helga Marsala at the Tempietto del Bramante, seat of the Accademia di Spagna in Rome. Pusole, who began his career in advertising and underground comic-inspired art, has since 1996 developed the painting cycle 'Io sono dio' ('I am god'), where paint abandons representation to become nature itself. His 'liquid painting' technique, applied rapidly, relinquishes total control, allowing repeated variations on themes drawn from urban or natural landscapes. The event is part of a spring series of public interviews with contemporary art figures.
