exhibition · 2026-04-22

Enoc Perez presented a solo exhibition at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York City from September 10 to October 10, 2009. The artist, originally from San Juan, displayed large-scale paintings of modernist architecture, including Brasilia's Palacio da Justica and Tokyo's Nakagin Capsule Tower, alongside representations of nude female torsos. Utilizing oil sticks on projected sketches, Perez achieved layered hues, occasionally resulting in a grainy texture, while also experimenting with thick applications of pigment. Among the significant works were "Alma Bank, Georgia," showcasing futuristic designs and vibrant skies, and "Teatro Popular, Niteroi, Brasil," which featured light architectural forms against a dark backdrop. The highlight was "Pavilion of the Soviet Union, Expo 67," illustrating a luminous glass structure. The exhibition took place at 534 West 26 Street, New York City.
