PROJECTS

MOTORBIKES (Ongoing)
Motorbikes constitute another of Robert Perry’s long-term passions, and he has been riding, repairing
and drawing them continuously since the age of 16. Frequently seen drawing in such places as the Isle of Man
TT Races paddock, he is planning eventually to hold a major exhibition of this work, drawings, paintings and photographs.

ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPES (Ongoing)

Since his days at Art College Perry has been fascinated by colour, experimental painting techniques and the intriguing textural qualities of overgrown areas of foreground and middle distance. A major new initiative in this aspect of his work is planned for the near future.
