Peter Peri (b. 1971, London)

Peter Peri’s primary media are drawing, sculpture, and painting: three distinct bodies of work that are developed independently by the artist to create a complex set of interrelations. All works are specifically invested in the tension between line and volume, figuration and abstraction, and in the questioning of tradition and influence in Modernism.

A graduate of Chelsea College of Art, he made his debut at Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2003. He has exhibited widely internationally, including Tate Britain, the Hayward Gallery, and Kunsthalle Basel. Peri’s work can be found in the collections of Tate, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. Peri's work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Peter László Péri (1899–1967), a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism.
