In our latest installment of Feature videos on the NXTHVN 2020-2021 fellows, we follow Esteban Ramón Pérez, an interdisciplinary artist from the Los Angeles area. Raised in his father's upholstery shop, Ramón Pérez incorporates materials from his youth, including leather and embroidery, to create monumental paintings such as Como La Flor (Toreado), 2021. This work, as well as another work by the artist, El Gallo Negro (13 wins - 0 loses), 2021, is currently on view in Un/Common Proximity at James Cohan, 48 Walker St, through August 13.
