Meet artist Perry Milou as he paints live outside Arete Gallery

Posted

Arete Gallery features the works of Perry Milou, who will paint live in front of the gallery from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday Sept. 10.

All are invited to watch Milou create his pop culture contemporary artworks outside the gallery, located at 122 S. Main St., New Hope.

“I want my work to evoke an aura of beautiful feelings. I am constantly looking at the sky for color; it is the closest thing to actually watching God paint in the present moment,” stated Milou.

Milou paints in a hybrid style, fluidly combining illustration and pop composition. He draws on a wide range of masters for inspiration, including Warhol, Max, and Wesselman. “When paint dries on the canvas, be it a commission for tomato kings Cento, a Swarovski crystal studded Sylvester Stallone or a Philadelphia scene in Van Gough’s style, it is absolutely a Milou.”

Critics and collectors have hailed his bold, vibrant palette over the past 30 years. Milou’s 2022 roster of works include, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Actress Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton), Elon Musk, Eddie Van Halen, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Deepak Chopra, Jimi Hendrix, and Cento Tomatoes.

Considered a talented forward-thinker with diversified inspirations, Milou’s work has often been described as “alluring,” “brilliant,” “fresh” and “glamorous.”
