Drawings by Ben Perini:Random Thoughts and the Fic onal Portrait Exhibition dates: February 17 -March 21Reception: Friday, February 21, 6:00 8:00 p.m. Mary Davis Holt Gallery, Elberson Fine Arts Center

This solo exhibit of ctional portraits consists of large-scale charcoal drawings on paper. The drawings celebrate the simplicity of black charcoal and the beauty of charcoal

markings as they are layered, blended, rubbed, brushed, erased and further manipulatedby the imagination to portray expressions and thoughts. Scale is an important factor inPerinis work, with some drawings in this show measuring up to seven feet tall. The intentis for the viewer to be absorbed and engulfed by the whole work of art, as he or shedecides if the layers of imagery are part of a story or just abstract musings.

An artist all of his life, Perini was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up among thegreat museums of the city, which he visited often from an early age. His rst educationalart experience was at age eight, attending the Saturday art classes at the BrooklynMuseum. Inspired onward, he never looked back. He is currently a professional illustrator.
