Artist Bio
Luján Peréz Hernández (b. 1991, Madrid, Spain) has lived in between Spain and the United States since the age of six. Following the completion of her bachelors degree, Perez worked and lived on farmland in Tupelo, Mississippi, creating her own printing press, later attending the Leipzig International Artist Program, and most recently the recipient of the Chubb Fellowship, and The Macedonia Institute Residency in July 2021.
Her work employs a combination of printmaking, drawing, painting, and sculpture; exploring the relationship between earth and spirit while tackling the eternally plaguing questions of love, death, rebirth, and belonging.
Peréz presented a solo booth at last year’s Spring Break Art Fair, was included in the New York Times reviewed Future Fairs booth, and was recently presented at salon Acme, Mexico City with Swivel Gallery and featured in “Memory Garden” at Swivel Gallery.
About the Easton Pribble Lecture Series
Seasoned artists are invited to Utica to give presentations as part of the Easton Pribble Lecture Series at the Museum of Art. Named for a beloved late professor of painting and drawing, the mission of the series is to invite guest artists who represent a variety of creative disciplines and bring a diversity of perspectives to inspire, motivate, and challenge students. A faculty-led committee invites artists to Utica each year who amplify voices and illuminate career pathways historically and presently marginalized within the art and design worlds.
