Mr.
Perez is one of the leading pop-graphic artists in the burgeoning Mission District in San
Francisco. His works reflect on an urban experience, often juxtaposing a wide range of
printed elements he finds around town. These found materials then take a character of
their own, once they are transformed into a print screen. His works are reminiscent of
Andy Warhol, but take Andy's concepts into the 21st century while adding a Chicano twist.

"I
take an image from the media which I manipulate and put in context with another image.
It's a confrontation between two images. My work as an artist is to make clear what is in
between."
