3D and Mixed Media Artist. Writer.
1st – 30th April 2024 at Southsea Cinema and Arts Centre

Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre is thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition by Freya Perry, a renowned 3D and mixed media artist, and writer. Titled “Passion for Color” this exhibition will run from April 1st to April 30th, 2024, showcasing Perry’s vibrant and emotionally resonant artworks.

Perry’s journey with color began in childhood, where she found solace and expression in the hues of her clothing and surroundings. Despite early setbacks, her passion for color persisted, leading her to explore its psychological and healing dimensions in adulthood. Perry’s deep connection to color is reflected in her artwork, which serves as both a personal expression and a means of healing.

A pivotal moment in Perry’s life came in 2014 when she experienced a head injury. This incident propelled her towards art as a form of self-expression and healing. Through mixed media art using acrylics, Perry found solace and purpose, with her artwork gaining international recognition. Alongside her visual art, Perry’s writing also flourished, with stories and poems centered around color and the senses.

In 2024, Perry revisits her childhood passion for storytelling by resurrecting children’s stories and fairytales, alongside creating 3D artwork for the main characters. Additionally, she embraces performance art, delighting audiences with colorful storytelling sessions.

As part of the exhibition, Perry will also be participating in the Pompey Poetry Party event at Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre on April 1st, 2024. Her mixed media paintings will serve as the backdrop for the evening, where she will share lighthearted and enchanting poems.

Perry states: ‘My mum said I was a walking rainbow. I still am! My stories lay dormant in my computer. Many were for children. Some for adults. Though at that time I was so wrapped up in my art that they were put on a back burner.’

“We are thrilled to host Freya Perry’s ‘Passion for Color’ exhibition at Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre,” said Aysegul Epengin. “Her vibrant artwork and storytelling encapsulate the essence of creativity and healing, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a world of color and imagination. Freya is indeed a walking rainbow.”

The exhibition opens with a reception on April 1st, 2024, at 5pm, followed by the Poetry evening at 6pm, featuring performances by talented poets. (Great Poetry Day) Visitors are encouraged to attend and experience the enchanting world of Freya Perry’s art and storytelling.
