About
“Paige Perkins paints nature red in tooth and claw, but it is human nature that she principally studies: humanity revealed through different (often animal) guises. There may be something nasty in the woodshed, but there’s worse out beyond the fence at the bottom of the garden, where the wild wood fronts up to supposed civilization. She investigates the treacherous edge of things, speculates on the smile that might be a snarl. In her imagery there is often propinquity that isn’t sexual; in fact, sexuality in its obvious modern mode has little place here. Passion is evident though, and a fluid sense of identity.” - Adam Lambirth, from the exhibition text of Paige’s solo exhibition at Arusha Gallery
Education
Perkins attended the Turps Banana Art School from 2014 to 2016 and holds an MFA from University of Brighton 2006.
