Broken Open

Homiens Curator’s Comment
Perley’s improvisational canvases are joyous arenas of spontaneous color and material alchemy. The work invites us to witness asearch for life within the paint itself, celebrating the healing power of unscripted creative play.

RETURN TO SOURCE
Don's 2022 solo show, a survey of paintings and assemblage work, ran from June 14th through July 9th at Pleiades Gallery in New York's Chelsea District. Return to Source was curated by Marianna Winterdale - a New York-based curator, DTP designer, and photographer. For Don's show, Mari chose a mix of recent paintings, assemblage work, and earlier pieces to tell a story of the artist's philosophy and development.
Don has an extensive YouTube March 2021 studio interview on the ups and downs of a life as a self-taught artist, conducted by Liana Voia, the creator of Multiple Arts.
Don has also been published as a featured artist at The NO MIDDLEMAN online art gallery a project of Edge of Humanity Magazine.
