Ben Brown Fine Arts is delighted to present New Paintings, the first solo exhibition of New York-based artist Enoc Perez to be held at the Palm Beach gallery, following his highly acclaimed solo exhibitions More Than This (Hong Kong, 2021) and The Cinematic Self (London, 2019). The exhibition features a group of large-scale paintings depicting classic landmarks from Perez’s native Puerto Rico, the imagery culled from vintage travel advertisements promoting the allure and promise of visiting this tropical island.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1967, Perez moved to New York City in the late 1980s, earning great renown for his paintings of iconic, utopian architecture. Throughout his illustrious career, Perez has developed a distinct visual vocabulary, using architecture and interiors as symbols to examine power, identity, popular culture, history and politics. Perez is similarly interested in the subliminal seduction and historical value of myriad visual media, looking at advertising, both vintage and contemporary, social media and celebrity culture to inform his work.
布朗画廊 Ben Brown Fine Arts 为纽约艺术家 Enoc Perez 在棕榈滩举办了首次个展「新绘画」 ，这是艺术家 Perez 继香港和伦敦颇受好评的个展「More Than This」和「The Cinematic Self」之后，又一次特别呈献 。展览展示了一组大型画作，描绘了 Perez 的故乡波多黎各的经典地标棕榈树，这些棕榈树的形象提炼自这个热带岛屿的老式旅游广告。
Perez 于 1967年出生在波多黎各的圣胡安，20世纪80年代末移居纽约市，以其对标志性乌托邦建筑的画作而著名。在其杰出的职业生涯中，Perez开发了一种独特的视觉语汇，利用建筑和内部作为象征来探究权力、身份、流行文化、历史和政治。Perez同样对各种视觉媒体的潜移默化诱惑和历史价值感兴趣，他关注各种广告传单，无论是传统还是当代，社交媒体和名人文化，并据此来完成自己的作品。
本次展览将于2023年2月1日至2月23日在棕榈滩举行，敬请期待。
