Painter and sculptor Mauro Perucchetti was born and raised in Italy, but now lives and works in Great Britain, where, in fact, his undoubted talent was recognized: to create curious sculptures of the original genre. Perhaps the author dreamed not of this at all, but experts consider his art to be a mixture of conceptual and pop art, calling Perucchetti's work sculptures with a hidden meaning. Although, why secret? By and large, everything the author wanted to say can be seen at a glance. Mauro Perucchetti's talent extends to both marble and glass sculptures, both ceramics and acrylic, composite, granite and metal. The heroes of his works also become a wide variety of characters: both people and skeletons, both animals and plants, not to mention household items or waste of human life.
Some of the ideas that Mauro Perucchetti embodies in his sculptures are close to absurdity, and only a sense of humor and healthy cynicism help to refrain from snobbery and indignant exclamations in the style of "well, how can it be?" Take, for example, a toilet bowl sparkling with Swarovski crystals. Or the same poop, sparkling with rhinestones, - a whole shelf of poop, which occupies one of the central places in the author's last year's exposition entitled "Modern day heroes, hip pop art and dailu news". In the same series there are such shocking monuments as "Michelangelo 2020, A tribute to woman", depicting a strong and domineering woman in the image of David, a kind of David of 2020, as well as a modern interpretation of the equally famous fresco "The Creation of Adam", all of that the same Michelangelo, but in the form of a sculpture "Modern Heroes", depicting Batman and Superman.
Along with concept art and pop art, Mauro Perucchetti "professes" the religion of minimalism, fashionable today. That is why all his works are so laconic, and at the same time so understandable to the inquisitive minds of interested spectators. It would be great to visit one of the author's many exhibitions and see all this live, but for now, you can admire the unusual works on the website of the talented sculptor.
