I like the colorful paintings, they look fresh & sexy. The press release explains: "The large-scale paintings embody all the signature elements of Perry´s work - unnaturalistic colors, intricately distorted compositions, and a hand-drawn aesthetic - while also exhibiting many of the preoccupations with form shared by the Fauvists and German Expressionists; visible layers of impasto emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas, suggesting Matisse`s Dancers and Blue Nude cut-outs."
I display here my favorites from the show, as usual a very subjective selection. On the top of this post you can see "Light as a Liquid (I Dream of Picasso)" (2016, 68 x 84 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas) followed by "Off We Go into the Unknown, Together" (2016, 24 x 36 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas).
Above: "Self Portrait in River" (2015, 37.25 x 22.5 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache) followed by "Bunkbed Pillars" (2016, 32 x 24 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas) & "The Back of Her Hand Touches" (2016, 24 /2 x 6 /2 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on MDF).
Fireworks In A Tunnel
Above:"Pink Nude Study (Memorary of the First Painting I loved)" (2016, 27 x 27 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas) followed by "Boisterous Bloom" (2015, 66 x 74 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache); "Fireworks in a Tunnel" (2016, 70 x 70 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas) & "Sleep and Comets" (2016, 30 x 64 inches, House paint, acrylic and gouache on canvas).
Enjoy!
