George Perrou - retro modern art
I have had the opportunity to attend two of Portland artist George Perrou’s openings at the fabulous Elroy Art Space. The first show was his “Dreams of Eames” opening and just last weeks “Shipwrecks of Sparta” opening. Perrou’s work is inspired by mid century animation, colors, decor, art and life. Perrou’s method is unique in that he uses tape (as one time stencils) and a knife to create the sharp , overlapping lines on his canvases. The contrast of vibrant background colors with the sharp geometric images draws you in and gives one the overwhelming sense of nostalgia for the days when you spent endless hours in a different world with The Jetsons.

You can view more of Perrou’s work (and buy it) through the Elroy Art website.
Also, here is the OPB Oregon Art Beat feature on George Perrou.
