"Against the Grain":

An Art Showing from the Late Artist Edward H. Perry

For the Wine Tasting and Art Show, A2H will exhibit original art works created by Memphis Academy of Arts alum Edward H. Perry. The collection includes over 60 pieces that have never been shown, many of which highlight Perry’s signature style of incorporating geometric paintings and electronic circuitry with hand-crafted wooden frames. The artist died in 2007, leaving behind his entire collection to his close friends—local legendary singer/songwriter Keith Sykes and his wife Jerene, and local writer Gordon Alexander who met Perry during their freshman year at the Academy. The three have teamed up with A2H to unveil Perry’s vast collection. The Sykes will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Memphis College of Art in honor of Perry to help aspiring artists.
