The Opening Reception for our new show, show featuring the Works of Chris Pero, will be held on Spetember 12 from 4-6 pm.
Christopher Pero was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1967. His mother was a commercial artist who influenced his art along with artists such as Paul Klee, Gustav Klimpt and master surrealist H.R. Geiger.
Pero paints in Vibrant oil colors in the abstract expressionist form. He fuses nature with the human form and derives most of his images from deep within his Psyche.
Christopher Pero has been painting since 1994 and has no formal art training. He resides with his wife and daughter in Freehold Borough where he maintains his private studio.
