Peter Abrami is an artist working primarily in painting and drawing with an interest in exploring the connections between human perception, abstraction and cognitive recognition. He holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin (2015) and a BFA in painting from The University of South Florida (2010). Abrami's compositions are made up of forms and colors that rub up against each other, paintings and drawings that act as visual puzzles or games. His work is active in the sense that the visual “whole” is always presented in parts, a perceptual puzzle for a viewer to shuffle and sort. As an artist Abrami is interested in the mechanisms that make visual perception tick, the how and why people see what they see.
