Luis Perelman

Luis Perelman was born and raised in New York City.

Formally trained as an architect, he received a degree from Columbia University in 1965, and worked in architecture and city planning for many years. In recent years, he has been curator for an art gallery in Westchester County, New York and has organized numerous exhibitions throughout the county. He has worked in a variety of media including watercolor, painting, assemblage and sculpture.

Perelman has always been interested in the exploration of space and form in order to express a non-verbal reality. Several years ago, he started working again in clear casting resin. His recent work involves the connecting of random elements into a cohesive geometrical framework, and in the juxtaposing of seemingly disparate artifacts found as the discards of the Industrial Age. His intention is to bring about a transformation of these discarded elements into a cohesive whole.

His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York and the Northeast, including the Whitney Museum, Leo Castelli and Allan Stone Galleries. In addition it is in many private collections including those of Roy Neuberger, Phillip Johnson and I.M.Pei. His most recent New York exhibition was at O.K. Harris.
