Perry
Milou is arguably one of the nation's foremost recognized Pop
artists. Critics and collectors have hailed his bold, vibrant
palette over the past 20 years. Considered a talented
forward-thinker with classic, iconic inspirations, Milou's work
has often been described as "alluring", "brilliant", "fresh",
and "glamorous".
Perry
Milou creates a blend of pop culture contemporary art that is
frequently a tribute to global icons, Americana, and
celebrities. This past January Milou's original painting was
presented to Vice President Joe Biden upon returning home to
Delaware after serving 8 years under President Obama.His 2017
roster includes blockbusters pieces include portraits of
Prince, Harambe, David Bowie, and Nelson Mandela.
In
2016 Milou's incredible portrait of Pope Francis recognized him
as the official licensed portrait artist by The World Meeting
Of Families for The pontiff's visit to America. Milou employs a
rich palette to create vibrant representational works coined
"FINE- POP". The artist paints in a hybrid style, fluidly
combining illustration and Pop composition with technique;
Milou draws on a wide range of masters for inspiration
including: Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Wesselman. When paint
dries on the canvas, be it a commission for tomato kings Cento,
a Swarovski crystal studded Stallone or a PHILADELPHIA scene in
Van Gough's style, it is absolutely a Milou!
Bold
color is the forefront of my work. My FINE-POP painting is
highly stylized, exciting and graphic; the in-your-face imagery
clearly defines the Milou brand.
The
personable Perry Milou began his career and life-long passion
as a artist in first grade. Young Milou, crayons in hand, was
asked to draw a mural of Huckleberry Finn on brown craft paper.
He exhibited talent rare in a child so young and created
something truly extraordinary and was asked to finish the
project himself - Milou's first "commission"! This opportunity
led to Perry Milou's artistic epiphany and he decided to
dedicate his life to being an artist - and boy has he done it!
He followed an individualized path and earned a BFA from The
University of Arizona in 1990, where he was the first student
in the college's history to virtually create his own "open
studio major". This strategy allowed Milou to experiment
artistically and molded him into the prolific, diverse, outward
thinking artist he is today.
The
Fine- Pop artist continues to refine his brand and remains
inspired to create bold new projects, while accepting
COMMISSIONS for both private and corporate clients, as well
continually contributing to his ever-expanding, diverse roster
of CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS around the country.
