1800 Tequila Artist Series Enoc Perez BOTTLE - Alma Bank in Atlanta Georgia
1800 Tequila has launched the eighth edition of the Essential 1800 Artist Series featuring the contemporary artwork of artist Enoc Perez. Born the son of an art critic, Enoc spent his childhood traveling the world’s cities and museums, learning not only of the unique creativity each city produced, but of the urban ethos that inspired it. He came to admire iconic structures as exemplars of local ambition and optimism. As this optimism faded over the years, Perez has sought to revive it through vibrant paintings of modern architecture that are an homage to the buildings, but more importantly, to the energy, sentiment and local culture that inspired them.
Founded as a means to showcase art in a non-traditional medium, each year the series presents a new discussion around the crucial link between art and culture, as told through the work of cultural vanguards such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. This year, through Perez, the spotlight shifts to cities as cultural epicenters and breeding grounds for edgy yet refined style.
