The Artist Using Renaissance Influences to Paint Saintly Black Figures
Across the road from Brixton Underground station, the silhouettes of two Black women backlit by a warm, orange glow catch my eye. Their heads peer over the staircase that leads in and out of the station, quietly looming over commuters. This arresting and unlikely intervention in the tube station is the work of Ethiopian-Italian artist, Jem Perucchini, who was commissioned by Art on the Underground to create Rebirth of a Nation, an oil painting which has been enlarged and reproduced on the station’s wall as a monumental mural.
