A look at decades of all-out artistic pursuit by a master draw-er. Drawing has been central to Sam Perry’s process throughout all of his explorations—in oil painting as well as digital media (including Photoshop and animation) and now installation. See the pioneering and acclaimed animation that brings a life of observational drawing into play with digital media. Here the traditions of making art, in terms of the organizing of form, distill the infinite potential of contemporary media. Drawing in this case is the backbone, the glue that holds together Sam’s wide-ranging endeavors.
