Bio
George Perrou
Inspired by mid-century animation, George Perrou’s ‘Mod-Culture’ art gives nods to Miro, Kandinsky and Calder. Channeling the the Hanna-Barbara and Warner Bros. cartoons from the 60’s,
Perrou’s is a style all his own, painting colorful abstractions of reality onto the canvas using retro and modern colors in acrylic. Self-taught, George starts with the images he creates in 3-D, then recreates the vision onto canvas. “My paintings morph into what they are with little or no conscious direction from me,” he says, “I am often surprised at what they become”. George lives and paints in Portland, Oregon and was recently featured on OPB’s Art Beat Show.
Modern Villa Gallery discovered his work featured in a café on NW 23rd street’s trendy neighborhood in 2005 and is proud to be carrying George’s original artwork since.
