Calle Verde (2025) Painting by Pez

Perry Harrison is a contemporary Australian painter whose work explores the intersection of architecture, pop iconography, and human development. His artistic focus lies in examining the human desire for companionship and the narratives and assumptions people form purely through observation.

With a background in design, Harrison employs various tools such as ink, markers, airbrush, palette knives, and traditional brushes. He often engages with a restricted palette and simplified imagery, challenging conventional tropes and clichés by reinterpreting them in innovative ways.

Perry and his wife, Cheryl, both full-time artists, work from their studios in Port Douglas, Australia. Before fully dedicating himself to art, Harrison had an extensive career in television and print media, working as an editor, camera operator, and graphic designer. Much of his professional experience was based in the U.K., where he traveled and collaborated with Cheryl, a seasoned artist of more than 25 years. She introduced him to influential artists such as Antoni Tàpies, Ben Nicholson, Ralph Steadman, Cy Twombly, and John Olsen. Her encouragement played a pivotal role in Perry’s decision to take his artistic pursuits more seriously and step out of the shadows.
