Mitchell-Innes Nash Showing Enoc Perez

Perez's collection of paintings have the element of technical expertise with their simplicity of colors and suggestive yet clear, outlined content usually centered in the canvas. The texture of the canvases bleeds through with colorful thin lines that look like they have been woven down into the work. The many stripes of color are more pronounced in the shadow in the paintings. The paintings are alike in that though they hover between a two-dimensionality and the three-dimensionality, they still retain depth. The Teatro Poplar looks like a circular parking garage. This is not stark realism though the content of the works look real. They are more suggestive, with a unique palette to each painting. As with Juegan Teller, Perez has made art of another's efforts. He has used someone else's conception, in this case architecture, and made it his through composition,perspective, and color. Some of the paintings have an unfinished look to them, others look like corporate commissioned pieces. The smallest painting was perhaps the most interesting. It depicts a modular home that one wants to continually comment on its shape. Modular, geometric, cubic, simple, minimal all come to mind.
