About the Work
Enoc Perez uses images appropriated from a variety of sources—postcards and his own Polaroids—to create prints made by pressing paper backed with wet oil against a canvas. This work by Perez employs an everyday image to explore the artist’s interest in the relationship between form and desire.
About the Artist
As the son of an art critic, Enoc Perez spent family vacations traveling to museums in different countries and learning about the history of art. A painter and printmaker, Perez embraces the ability to convey pleasure and beauty on the viewer. Although he works with a variety of subjects, including portraits, still lifes, and cityscapes, he is best known for capturing the utopian ideals embodied in the construction of architectural monuments. Based in New York for over a decade, Perez has painted the Seagram building, United Nations building, Lever House, and Eero Saarinen’s TWA terminal. He has the ability to convey beauty and power upon the architectural skyline of New York City, as well as the people who inhabit its towering icons. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Art in America, and Interview Magazine.
