The first monograph to feature the Ethiopian-Italian painter Jem Perucchini, who blends elements of Renaissance and Byzantine art with sacred frescoes from the Ethiopian tradition. The Milan-based artist draws on an eclectic set of references – diverse symbols, archetypes, and histories – in his practice to reimagine cultural inheritances, offering a fresh interpretation of the classical Western canon. Informed by his own experiences, Perucchini’s work reflects our shared human desire to reshape our inheritances into our own narratives, and to forge connections with one another through seeing our old stories born anew. The book includes texts by Jimena Blázquez and Giogio Di Domenico.
