LUIGI PERICLE. The spectacular disclosure of Ascona marks the beginning of a new chapter in the recent history of Swiss Art

“A work of art, and here we come to the work of Luigi Pericle, is then an image, a figuration, a constellation of a perceived event somewhere else in time and space, and given its pictorial reality as a symbol of that personal and actual event” – H. Hess.

Luigi Pericle developed a passionate interest in Eastern culture, reading texts, listening to traditional music and studying Asian philosophies in depth. His art also springs from a profound dialogue with distant thoughts.

Words, like signs or colours, were tools for revealing deep layers of meaning. A true text, wrote Luigi Pericle, is “a vessel into which inspiration must flow”.

Pericle was drawn to that which escapes immediate perception, to that which has not yet taken shape. Cutting-edge science entered into dialogue with his artistic and spiritual vision.

In the 1960s Luigi Pericle rose to success on the international stage. His work was now well known, but it was precisely at this point that he began to take the surprising decision to step out of the limelight in order to devote himself entirely to art and to his esoteric studies

For Pericle, the offering to the Mother becomes a means of access to a superior vision, as the maternal symbol is recognized as the gateway to the most authentic inner dimension.

Luigi Pericle was fascinated by the symbolic dimension, understood as the bridge required between the visible and the invisible. For him, symbols were never mere ornament. They were the key to deciphering the cosmos.

In 1963, Luigi Pericle held a solo exhibition at the Galleria Castelnuovo in #Ascona, a prestigious venue that had welcomed names such as #Giacometti, #Chagall, #Picasso and #Kandinsky.

In the titles of many of his works, Luigi Pericle includes the Latin phrase “Matri Dei d.d.d.”, an abbreviation of “Matri Dei dono dedit dedicavit”. The work is “delivered” to a higher dimension and thus removed from the exclusive sphere of the author.

Monte Verità was the perfect place for those who, like Luigi Pericle, sought a balance between spirituality, art and free thought. A territory both physical and ideal, where every gesture became part of a vision.

Writing, drawing, painting: in Pericle everything became a tool for research and for the transmission of knowledge. An eclectic art, never decorative, always at the service of something that went beyond the image.

Luigi Pericle’s abundant graphic and pictorial output reveals the ritual dimension of his art, closely linked to the philosophical, literary and spiritual studies that emerge immediately from the observation of his work.

Today, the Archivio Luigi Pericle is not only a repository, but a living space, a bridge between art, spirituality and knowledge. A place where every trace conveys the depth of an artist who made his inner world his greatest work.

Luigi Pericle embraced painting, writing and inner reflection as fields in constant dialogue.

Luigi Pericle’s ink drawings are not simple lines, but meditative signs, true bridges between art and spirituality. A daily exercise, rigorous and silent, that conveys all the depth of timeless ideas.

In 1959, Luigi Pericle destroyed all his figurative paintings: a break with the past, but also a gesture of rebirth. From then on, archaic symbols and essential forms guided a new spiritual experimentation, between abstraction, meditation, and inner knowledge.
