Italian term

con cui viene trattato.

Italian to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Description of artist\'s works
This contemporary artist's work has just been described as having the inner focus of works such as Bacon and Freud.

L’artista è passata dal ritrarre volti e corpi chiaramente riconoscibili a figurazioni reflectivenessin cui si fatica a distinguere il soggetto, perché protagonisti sono il colore e i gesti con cui viene trattato.

I do not understand how the "perche" here connects this final phrase to the earlier part of the sentence.

Gesti I have used words related to "expression" for "gestuale" and "gesti" in other places. Don't know what I will do with it here, I guess it depends on any answers thrown up here.

used to create the image

"... because the real protagonists are the colour and the strokes used to create the image".

"Perché" simply translates as "because" here. Not sure about "protagonists" - it may suit your text or there may be a better solution.
