My Name is Gerald Perdue, I am an abstract painter. I studied art

and painting at  Ohio State University, The Art Institute of Boston and

The University of Illinois at Chicago. I've lived in Chicago for over

twenty years and have been painting for over thirty.

I am a colorist. My technique consists of applying thin layers of

transparent color to a textured surface. My emphasis is on the sensual

experience of color and texture. The layering of thin sheets of acrylic

creates a physical color space on the surface of the canvas giving

light a material presence.

I hope you enjoy exploring my art and if you wish to contact me send
