Pierluigi Pusole Italian, 1963

Pierluigi Pusole (Turin, Italy, 1963)  

Born in Turin, Italy, in 1963, Pierluigi Pusole began exhibiting in 1986, with a group show at the Padiglione di Arte Contemporanea in Milan. Since then, he has exhibited continuously at important galleries, including the Guido Carbone Gallery in Turin, the Dumont Kunsthalle in Cologne, and the Michael Schultz Gallery in Berlin.  

These were the years in which he imposed himself on the international art scene with his original vision of painting, seeking to establish a new season of Italian painting.   

He participated in the 1991 Venice Biennale and took part in important group exhibitions such as Il Cangiante, Anni Novanta, Dodici pittori italiani, Cambio di guardia, Ultime generazioni and Antologia.   

He was among the first artists in Italy to embrace the Pop Art concept of seriality, although he abandoned figuration in the following years. Since 2000, he has dedicated himself to the project ‘Io sono Dio” (I am God), in which the artist works on the landscape and the cell as pictorial and formal pretexts to be multiplied in gradually more complex compositional structures; the pictorial material is rendered with quick gestures, on wet paper, often quoting scientific and philosophical literature.   

The artist now lives and works in Turin.
