Exhibiting artist George P. Perez explores mundane situations and day-to-day scenarios in his work. Utilizing everyday images and unconventional processes, he creates collages, installations, and sculptures. He bridges a view of neglected photography to preserve sentimental characteristics that play with stereotypical images to reconstruct their significance and importance.

Perez received a BFA from the University of Colorado Boulder and is currently an MFA Candidate under the Gilbert Fellowship at Cranbrook Academy of Art, MI. He has been an Artist-in-Residence at RedLine Contemporary Art Center and at the Denver Children’s Museum. He is a recipient of the MCA Denver Octopus Initiative Grant. Perez has been a Photo-Facilitator with Working Assumptions based out of Berkeley, CA, and part of the M12 cohort, an award-winning artist collective that specializes in rural aesthetics and landscape.
