The Publick Playhouse presents the work of Luis Peralta. Mr. Peralta is painter that feels like an explorer, not necessarily creating but instead discovering. He states, “I discover paintings I have to materialize with or without inspiration. Fortunately, from my home in Anacostia my journey is aided by the abundant inspiration I discover in the people and places East of the River, such as the Frederick Douglass House.”
His current work, the Freedom Series, blends iconic American symbols of democracy into a representation of the freedom that we are able to achieve. The image is a mirror of an unfamiliar self. It reminds the user that freedom is in all of us. We must work toward releasing and maintaining it. Freedom is not static but dynamic. It is a continuous process.
