PointillismuS

Perrone's paintings are characterized by the fascinating spectacle of nature, which inspires the quiet contemplative artist. Nature as a pulse generator in which myriads of color combinations swirl around the light. Every detail, every nuance, every vibration fascinates Perrone, awakens his imagination and curiosity. He loses himself in imagining the whole, from the visible reality to the invisible one of the primordial cosmos, where everything began. Peronne began with playful and ironic figuration, continuously evolving towards pointillism. For him, the space of the canvas is the space of nature, which he captures, which he makes us experience. Through his staccato short brushstrokes he unfolds a vibrant color dynamic, a rhythmic flow of colors, often embedded in monochrome backgrounds. Intense counterpoints in strong red, blue and yellow enliven the scenery. Nature is a model for Perrone in terms of beauty, color and light. An emotional, sensual kind of contemporary painting that remains in memory and inspires collectors worldwide. Nino Perrone takes us to the vast, hilly areas and seascapes around Bari with his infinity of brushstrokes. He stages with a swarm of colors his space of nature on canvas, transmitting vibrations and impulses, dedicated to the mysteries of eternal life. In the works Harmony, Energy, Metamorphosis and Fragments he makes us feel warm summer air, inhale aphrodisiac scents and sink into seas of flowers. We immerse ourselves in the sensuality of nature, experience its beauty and transience, the wonderful change of seasons and begin to understand nature as a universe. We recognize the complexity of the system that needs to be preserved. Sustainability at its highest level, preserving for next generations. The surreal as a vision.
