About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered by the artist, from the serigraph edition of 40 prints completed at Self Help Graphics in Los Angele. Trouble in Paradise is based on tourism postcards and California orange crate art. The bison symbolizes the first mammal to be threatened during the "westward expansion" of the US and Manifest Destiny. Only, here, it is reflective of the expansion into the Eastside communities of Los Angeles, displacing people from their homes. For the past 22 years, Perry has worked on over 50 public art projects throughout Los Angeles and California. As a ceramic tile mural fabricator, he has helped make over 30 large-scale art projects with renowned artists, such as Frank Romero, Kim Abeles, Roberto Gil de Montes, Elsa Flores-Almaraz, Judy Baca, Margaret Garcia, and Sonia Romero. He has been commissioned by The Getty, The Wallis Annenberg Center for The Performing Arts, The Pasadena Playhouse and the California Community Foundation. Perry's technical and artistic mastery in ceramics and sculpture come from studying and working with artist Peter Shire. Currently, Perry works as a consultant for the Los Angeles Metro Public Art Program. He maintains and restores the extensive public art collection, as well as supports the fabrication and installation of new art projects throughout Los Angeles county. Additionally, he is a member of The Board of Directors at Self Help Graphics and Art, where he teaches ceramics workshops.

The Affair
Located in Bozeman, MT
Formalism collides with a punk rock, folk art sensibility in his pop culture mash-ups that explore the liminal space between the natural and built environment. The animal kingdom acts as our proxy. His paintings are noticeably devoid of the human figure, replaced by a colorful bestiary cavorting in landscapes that echo speculative fiction...
