Career

Perry studied at Maidenhead School of Art and Design from 1977 to 1980, and Bristol Polytechnic from 1978 to 1981. After graduating, Perry moved to East London, and began painting the area around his home in Leyton. He established a reputation for romantic urban realism. [4]

In 1998, Perry was invited by Bristol City Art Gallery to create a work depicting the tower blocks at Hartcliffe. [5] Perry's work then shifted to the wider landscape of Brownfield sites and nature reserves. In 2003, he produced a show for London's Guildhall Art Gallery on the theme of Epping Forest. [6] This was followed in 2007 with a series depicting local allotment sheds destroyed in preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Site. [7]

Perry's paintings of specific locations and natural phenomenon, often under environmental threat or affected by human interventions, explore the strained relationships between people and nature. [8] [9] Since 2012, coastal erosion and the impact of climate change have dominated Perry's work. [10] These themes took center stage in works Perry exhibited in 2015 at the Venice Biennale, and in 2022 at the Southampton City Art Gallery. [11] [12]

In 2025, Perry was included in the major survey of historic coastal visual arts: 'Can the Seas Survive Us' at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Universitry of East Anglia (UEA). [13] For the 2025 Aldeburgh Festival, Perry created a large exhbition, collaborating with the composer Stevie Wishart [14] .

Perry's paintings are held in several public collections, including the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, London Transport Museum, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, The Museum of London, the London Guildhall Collection, Harlow Art Trust, Southampton City Art Gallery, and the personal collection of King Charles III.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">English art</span>

English art is the body of visual arts made in England. England has Europe's earliest and northernmost ice-age cave art. Prehistoric art in England largely corresponds with art made elsewhere in contemporary Britain, but early medieval Anglo-Saxon art saw the development of a distinctly English style, and English art continued thereafter to have a distinct character. English art made after the formation in 1707 of the Kingdom of Great Britain may be regarded in most respects simultaneously as art of the United Kingdom.
