Pace Prints is pleased to announce the release of a new screenprint by Emilio Perez, available starting November 1, 2016. The print was created using imagery from the artist’s large-scale installation Dream Season for Times Square Arts and Times Square Advertising Coalition’s Midnight Moment series.
The print was inspired by the rhythm and energy of New York’s perpetually pulsating Times Square. In the artist’s words, the installation is “a visual road trip, where the viewer is immersed in a series of collaged drawings, painted gestures and layers of atmospheric color that recall distant galaxies, ebbing and flowing like crowds that pass through the city and the bodies of water which surround it.”
The screenprint, in an edition of 50, combines the spontaneity and expressiveness of painting with the kinetic energy of the Midnight Moment experience. The installation will play nightly on the electronic billboards of Times Square from November 1 through November 30, 2016 from 11:57pm to midnight.
Emilio Perez was born in 1972 in New York City. He attended Pratt Institute and University of Florida's New World School of the Arts. Perez's works can be found in the permanent collections of the PAMM - Perez Art Museum, Miami; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Fundación ARCO, Madrid and Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock; and in corporate collections, internationally. The artist's paintings were featured in the Critical Gestures, PAMM, Miami; 12th Havana Biennial; Topographies at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; and Signs of the Apocalypse/Rapture at the Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago. Perez had solo exhibitions with Galerie Lelong in both New York and Paris and has been featured in group exhibitions in Dusseldorf, Philadelphia, Houston and St. Louis, among others.
