Tamen Pérez
Tamen Pérez employs non-linear storytelling as an approach in her painting, printmaking, and photography to critique Western notions of time and history as universal creations. She re-mediates images that explore the history of perspective and its relationship to the creation of space and subjecthood. Pérez holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale School of Art and a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Tamen Pérez has exhibited work at Lyles and King Gallery, New York; Y2K Gallery, New York; and Stadium Galerie, Berlin; among others.
