Structure and transparency in abstract language
“Gioco Stregonesco” (1996) by Achille Perilli belongs to the mature cycle “Le trasparenze”, in which the artist develops a reflection on the relationship between form, light, and matter. In this phase, the composition is constructed through elements that emerge and dissolve within the pictorial surface.
Executed in mixed media on canvas, the work presents a dark background that hosts geometric structures and lines in progressive emergence. The forms are never fully defined, but unfold in a balance between presence and dissolution, generating a controlled visual tension.
The work is part of Perilli’s investigation into the relationship between rational construction and imaginative dimension, where the sign becomes a vehicle for an internal dynamic within the surface. The title itself suggests an evocative dimension, hinting at an interplay between form and space suspended between order and mystery.
