Born in 1985, he lives and works in Milano.
Jem Perucchini proposes a contemporary painting on the mystery of what is being done, on the future seized in formation, based on Renaissance imagery. Creating an intimacy between the painted characters and the viewer, his portraits introduce the figure of the black person into Renaissance-inspired painting, without political purpose.
Graduated from the Academia di Belle Arti in Brera (Milan), he has been exhibited in individual exhibitions at the Corvi- Mora gallery (London), in the public space for Una Boccata d’Arte, in Battaglia Terme (Italy), in collective exhibitions at the Corvi-Mora Gallery (London) and at the Italian Embassy in London. He is part of the Art on the underground project for Brixton station, in London.
