The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Empirical Evidence: Gerry Perrino – Painter & Mentor. This is a special alumni exhibition organized around the teachings and paintings of Gerry Perrino, professor of painting at Salve Regina University. This group exhibition highlights Perrino’s most recent work and the paintings of fourteen former students from across the country.
Gerry Perrino is a painter, an image maker, and a storyteller. He works with still life arrangements of toys and miniatures to craft visual narratives that are at once playful, poetic, and political. His oil paintings draw the viewer into a meticulously rendered metaphoric world of staged figures, signs, and props.
As a professor of painting and drawing, Perrino engages his students in the problems of visual thinking. He teaches them how to understand and interpret empirical evidence. From foundation drawing to advanced painting, Perrino inspires new and authentic relationships between teacher and student, observation and imagination, art and life. This exhibition reflects on this unique learning process in the visual arts and celebrates the study of painting at Salve Regina University over the past twenty-five years. This exhibition brings together the artwork of the following alumni that Perrino mentored.

Parlor Gallery opened in 2009 in Asbury Park, New Jersey and is located about an hour from both Manhattan and Philadelphia. We present a unique vision in New Jersey’s art community and feature innovative work by some of the best emerging and established artists. We curate exhibits the public may not ordinarily have access to outside of a large urban environment within a welcoming, creative, and inspirational space. The Gallery provides a venue for both talented young artists who’ve never exhibited as well as internationally collected and established artists. In the last few years, Parlor has begun to curate other venues, pop-up exhibits and participate in art fairs such as SCOPE Miami and NYC.
With Parlor Gallery’s innovative curation, we hope to expose, educate, and provide guidance to novice and seasoned collectors alike. We curate 10-12 exhibitions a year, as well as assist our patrons with commissions and art placement. Parlor Gallery is artist directed and curated.
