Artists I Like: Dave Perillo

Last week I featured pieces from the recent Quentin vs. Coen show that I liked in particular, but this week I wanted to focus a bit more on artist Dave Perillo, whose “The Dude Abides” I mentioned as one of my favorites from the exhibition.

Perillo operates out of Philadelphia, and his art style is a pop cultural mash-up of influences, but if I had to describe it in a sentence, I’d probably say “Saul Bass goes kawaii.” A longer description would probably be “pop cultural artifacts from the late 70′s and 80′s presented in a late 50′s-mid 60′s design context,” including The Bugaloos, Voltron, and Weird Science.
