Elbert Joseph Perez (b. 1991, Brooklyn, NY) lives and works in Hudson, NY. Perez’s oil paintings are characterized by a generous vulnerability, and often develop from difficult emotional spaces. Drawing from a personal vernacular which includes animals with symbolic significance, objects like tools and porcelain figurines, and references from art history, philosophy, and literature, Perez creates allegorical narratives that reflect on the fragility and strength of the human psyche. Recent solo exhibitions include Just Living the Dream, Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York, NY; From What I Remember, Field Projects, New York, NY; and The Enemy of My Enemy, Jupiter Contemporary, Miami, FL. Additionally, Perez has exhibited at venues including Steven Zevitas Gallery, Boston, MA; Eyes Never Sleep, New York, NY; Mrs. Gallery, New York, NY; Embajada, San Juan, PR; Venus Over Manhattan, New York, NY; Kimberly Klark, Queens, NY; and Babayaga Gallery, Hudson, NY. Perez lives and works in Hudson, NY.
