Peter Peri in Conversation with Dávid Fehér
Book launch and display of recent paintings.
Join us at the Liszt Institute London for an evening celebrating the launch of a new monograph on Peter Peri, published by Einspach Czapolai Fine Art.
Peri will be in conversation with Dávid Fehér, Director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts. Their discussion will explore Peri’s artistic practice, key themes in his work, and the ideas shaping his most recent projects, offering insight into both the newly published monograph and his wider artistic trajectory.
The event will also feature a display of Peri’s latest paintings in the gallery, providing a unique opportunity to experience his practice first-hand alongside the critical perspectives presented in the publication.
Copies of the book will be available on site.
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.
