ARTISTS
Lorenzo and Simona Perrone are known for their ability to blend unusual materials with strong emotional and conceptual depth. Their work stands out for its exploration of an expressive language that highlights the contrast between physicality and immateriality. By using books, plaster, acrylic paint, and string, they transform everyday objects into works with profound meaning. Their pieces tell stories of memory, absence, and spirituality.
Description
Prigionia is an intense and symbolic work that, through the evocative power of the book as an object, tells the story of cultural marginalization. The volumes, tightly bound together by barbed wire, become a metaphor for imprisoned knowledge, silenced identities, and untold stories. Using essential materials such as plaster, acrylic, and metal wire, Lorenzo and Simona Perrone turn matter into a statement—inviting us to reflect on the many forms of exclusion that still mark our time.
Prigionia
The very title of the work reveals its soul: Prigionia speaks of people confined not only physically but also symbolically, due to cultural and identity-related reasons. The closed and constrained pages represent lives lived on the margins, stories never heard, thoughts censored. The artwork becomes a silent cry against intolerance and a warning about the fragility of freedom.
Why Choose “Prigionia”
To acquire Prigionia is to bring home a piece that goes beyond aesthetic value and becomes a tool for awareness.

Conclusion
Prigionia is a powerful visual meditation on what it means to be excluded, forgotten, or “kept out.” It is also an invitation to recognize the richness that comes from encountering the other and their story. A work that lingers in the mind for its formal simplicity and the depth of its message. Discover it at PUNTO SULL’ARTE Gallery in Varese.
