Enoc Perez
Enoc Perez‘s (b.1967, San Juan) is best known for his paintings of modernist buildings that capture the utopian ambitions and optimism that inspired their construction. Embracing art’s potential for pleasure and beauty, Perez paints sensuous nudes, still lifes, tropical resorts, and modern architectural icons in a sleek aesthetic with dazzling, vibrant colors. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s silkscreens of the New York art scene, Perez developed his own printmaking method that mimics the process of color printing. Perez’s work can be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the British Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has had solo exhibitions at the Corcoran (Washington, D.C.) and Acquavella (New York), as well as been included in group shows at MANA contemporary (Jersey City, NJ), Galerie Fluegel-Roncak (Nuremberg), and Octavia Art Gallery (New Orleans).
