Comments on: Peri Parkes, Artist https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/22/peri-parkes-artist-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 22 Oct 2022 12:39:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/22/peri-parkes-artist-x/#comment-1488665 Sat, 22 Oct 2022 12:39:53 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=193398#comment-1488665 This dedicated artist has chronicled his environment in such an intense and descriptive way.
Through his eyes, we discover the latent beauty of scaly brickwork, discarded remnants and debris, the rain-swept roadway, a broken window (notice how he made us LONG to explore the interior of
that building……..), and strange grey “fingers” of fencing.

I’m in awe of this series, and am so grateful to learn more about this artist.
Thank you, GA, and the family of Mr. Parkes.

Peri has taken me back to the East End I grew up in through his paintings, his heart and soul are in these images.

I love their composition and colours. I must admit I didn’t realise he lived in Crouch End, round the corner from where I lived for twenty years. Thanks GE for posting these pictures of an artist i’ve admired for some time.
