Perez masterfully captures dappled light and shadow filtering through the luminous liquid and glass, utilising saturated amber and vivacious, saffron hues to evoke enthusiasm. This homage nods to the lustrous liquor advertisements of the 1970s, which employed vibrant colours to create a façade of hedonistic glamour and pleasure. Perez’s spectral paintings possess an ephemeral quality – imprecise and unfocused yet leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Through his use of oil as a medium, in The Mixable One, Perez elevates these everyday objects to the realm of fine art, prompting viewers to appreciate their formal beauty while also acknowledging the pervasive influence of glossy advertising and consumer culture. By capturing the intricate play of light, texture, and colour in his work, Perez celebrates the aesthetic qualities of these objects but also invites a deeper contemplation of how commercial imagery shapes our perceptions and desires. This dual focus prompts viewers to consider the intersection of art and advertising, where the line between genuine beauty and manufactured allure becomes increasingly blurred.
