Internationally renowned artist Enoc Perez has created a special print to benefit El Museo del Barrio on the occasion of its Gala.
This beautiful new work, printed by the Lower East Side Printshop, will be unveiled at the Gala on May 27th, 2010. Born in Puerto Rico and based in New York, Perez layers pictures selected from postcards, downloaded images, or his own Polaroids, by pressing paper backed with wet oil stick monochromes against a canvas or paper, and drawing on its surface.
This work, as much of his oeuvre, employs an everyday image to explore the artist's interest in the relationship between form and desire. In 2007 Perez was the focus of a major survey exhibition at MoCA at Goldman Warehouse, Miami. He has exhibited in museums and galleries in the Americas and Europe, including the Centre Pompidou, Paris; The Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy; the UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut; and El Museo del Barrio, New York.
