Emilio Perez: Footprints on the Ceiling at Galerie Lelong, NY

Opening reception: Thursday, January 9, 6-8pm

Emilio Perez: Footprints on the Ceiling at Galerie Lelong, NY. -Emilio Perez’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Lelong, Footprints on the Ceiling, will showcase the artist’s unique method of combining painting and drawing in a body of new work that includes a monumental, 40-foot long mural painting, one of the artist’s largest site-specific works to date. The exhibition reveals a departure from previous bodies of work in the use of a richer, more complex color palette, a more distinct figuration, and expanded negative space. Also shown alongside the new paintings will be a triptych from 2011, on view for the first time in New York. The artist will be present for the opening on January 9th from 6-8pm.
