London . He studied atChelsea College of Art , London and graduated from the MA programme in 2003. He made his debut in 2003 at Bloomberg New Contemporaries. His most recent solo show was at the Art Now space atTate Britain in April 2007. He has also shown at the Kunsthalle Basel,Switzerland in September 2006 and his work was shown in theArts Council Collection 's "How to Improve the World: 60 Years of British Art" at theHayward Gallery , London.In his most recent paintings Peri develops linear geometric structures formed by the repeated drawing and effacing of coloured lines where the accumulation of mistakes and ghosting appear to form the real substance of the painting, with the rendered geometric forms functioning somewhat in a supplementary role. Likewise, the anthropomorphic aspects of Peri’s recent drawings suggest a corporeality which retreats from us the more we concentrate on the constituting, minute, individual lines.
He is represented by
Carl Freedman Gallery , London.Peri's work has a personal connection to
Modernism , his grandfather was Laszlo Péri,(1899-1967), an Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning later in his life to more figurative Socialist Realist work. The grandfather adopted the name "Peter Peri" also.External links
