Who is Picos Pelegri
By exploring such undiscovered vantage points and often-overlooked inspirations, Pelegri’s collection was selected because he presents the world to viewers with an unusual candor. Whether with grit or finesse, the paintings grouped together in Unbound Perspectives display a timeless artistic past time: to unseat the audience from their comfortable and mundane perceptions of daily reality.
Pelegri’s paintings and sculptures are soothingly overstated and unaffected, striking the perfect balance between stability and spontaneity. Pelegri’s figures and shapes have an intrinsic grace, like they organically emerged out of the colors and brushstrokes that make up each work of art. Yet the organic characteristics of Pelegri’s art contrast its underlying orderliness. Geometric patterns and evenly distributed line work give his paintings an egalitarian consistency, emphasizing the fact that every figure, shape and mark exists a single, flattened plane. This interaction between natural, spontaneous beauty and intentionality is what makes Pelegri’s art compelling. Ultimately, Per Pelegri’s work harmonizes rawness and constancy, making eruptions of texture and expressionistic strokes seem part of a larger, ordered plan. Inspired by romanticism, Pelegri’s constantly explores the complexities of nature and emotion, inviting his viewers to explore with him. His art belongs to numerous corporate collectors and has appeared on album covers. Picos Pelegri lives and works in Miami Beach, Florida.
