Biography

Rooted in themes of legacy, the duality of belonging, obscurity, and emanation, Esteban Ramón Pérez’s interdisciplinary practice intertwines the cultural and artistic sensibilities of his Xicano heritage with the visual language of postmodernism, challenging conservative interpretations of existence.

Pérez received his BFA in Art from the California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles CA in 2017 and his MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University School of Art, New Haven CT in 2019. Pérez’s recent exhibitions include Lehmann Maupin, New York; Charles Moffett Gallery, New York; The Mistake Room, Los Angeles; James Cohan, New York; and Calderón, New York. Peréz’s first solo institutional exhibition, Distorted Myths, opened at Staniar Gallery, Washington & Lee University, Lexington VA in 2022 with accompanying catalogue. He was a recipient of the prestigious NXTHVN Fellowship in 2020-2021 and an Artadia Los Angeles 2022 grant awardee. His work is in the permanent collection of the Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles.
