Gavin Perry: Invert/Retro

Gavin Perry presents Invert/Retro — a pivotal shift in the artist’s multidisciplinary practice that challenges the conventions of painting, sculpture, and materiality.

Working with layers of pigmented epoxy resin poured over spherical forms, Perry creates works that appear to build themselves—relying on gravity, viscosity, and chance. Color is suspended in thick, glass-like surfaces, evoking viral organisms, celestial bodies, or blooming cells in mid-formation. Each work glows from a central core, suggesting a potent, generative force at its heart.

By inverting traditional painting methods and embracing unpredictability, Invert/Retro invites viewers into a dynamic space where process, material, and image collapse into one. The result is a visceral, otherworldly encounter—one that speaks to transformation, impermanence, and the tensions between control and surrender.

About the Artist

Gavin Perry is an interdisciplinary artist based in Miami, Florida. Born in Philadelphia in 1971, he earned his BFA from The Tyler School of Art. His practice spans painting, sculpture, and industrial furniture design, often incorporating unconventional materials and experimental techniques.

Perry’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Frederic Snitzer Gallery (Miami), Galerie Sultana (Paris), Art Basel (Switzerland), White Box (New York), and Buamet Sultana Gallerie (Mexico City and Paris). In 2022, he was nominated for the Painting Prize by the Orlando Museum of Art, where his work was presented in a solo exhibition. He is also a recipient of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship, which included an exhibition at the University Galleries of Florida Atlantic University.

Perry’s work interrogates materiality, perception, and the human condition, inviting audiences to engage with surface, depth, and the space in between.
