Life

Achille Perilli is, along with Carla Accardi , Ugo Attardi , Pietro Consagra , Piero Dorazio , Mino Guerrini , Antonio Sanfilippo and Giulio Turcato, co-author of the manifesto of formalism : " Forma 1 ", which turned against every form of representational art and the declared pure form the means and goal of art. On this basis, the signatories founded the artist group " Forma 1 ".

Perilli's pictures often contain cubic forms, which on closer inspection and change of perspective turn out to be multilayered and multi-dimensional. He calls his art " geometrically irrational ."

Achille Perilli had his first solo exhibition in the Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome in 1957. His art had international relevance. He was a participant in documenta 2 in Kassel in 1959 and in the XXXI. and XXXIV. Venice Biennale (1964 and 1970) Perilli participates and organizes numerous exhibitions of abstract art in Italy.
