Robert Perry’s wide experience in education at all levels combined with his life as a professional painter, traveller, adventurer, researcher and amateur historian enables him to mount stimulating and informative exhibitions, high in educational content but sufficiently “multi-layered” to be accessible to all ages and sections of society.

His Exhibition and Lecture Service is appropriate to all Museums, Art Galleries and Institutions of Culture/Education including a wide range of University Faculties, Fine Art, Creative Studies, Philosophy, Politics, History, Peace Studies, Humanities and the Arts.

Although Perry’s exhibitions are emphatically ART exhibitions, all of which are relevant at any time throughout the calendar year, some of his “battlefields” series may be particularly appropriately linked with anniversaries and commemorations such as Holocaust Memorial Day, 27 January (1945) D Day, 6 June (1944) Battle of the Somme, 1 July (1916) Death of Wilfred Owen, 4 November (1918) Armistice Day (Remembrance Day) 11 November (1918). (Note the availability of a MAJOR exhibition for the imminent approach of the centenary of the outbreak of The First World War 1914 – 2014.)

EXHIBITION 6 Robert Perry

Two Artists and Two Wars

This unique collaborative exhibition originates from the close friendship between Robert Perry and Mohsen Keiany.

These two painters, coming from Christian and Islamic traditions respectively, with their differing cultural backgrounds and life experiences, were brought together by chance in their coincidental membership of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. Their friendship was cemented by their artistic commitment and abhorrence of war. THIS EXHIBITION IS PARTICULARLY RELEVANT TO CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND SOCIAL TENSIONS.
