Fatal Fantasy: La Melodia de la Calle, running through May 15, showcases his work in a variety of media including painting, printmaking, and found object sculpture. Perez considers himself a Chicano artist—combining elements from his Hispanic heritage with inspiration from his Adams Morgan neighborhood.
You might remember Angel from 2009, when his digital self portrait won the DC Congressional Art Award through the Office of Eleanor Holmes Norton. Perez also had the opportunity to meet First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House this year when she presented Sitar Arts Center with the Coming Up Taller Award from the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. In addition, he is very active in the community, serving as the student representative on DC’s Arts Education Task Force, meeting with the Congressional Latino Council, and working with artists in the DC community such as color field painter Sam Gilliam and muralist Karlisima (Karla Rodas).
