PH23Peregrine is one of Kansas City’s best-known artists. She will undoubtedly become even more well-known when the new Bravo Television series, “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist” premiers Wednesday, June 9th at 10 PM. Peregrine is one of 14 up-and-coming artists competing in NYC for a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum and $100,000. In each episode of the show, contestants will create unique pieces in a variety of mediums: painting, sculpture, photography, collage and industrial design. Guest judges will include photographer Andres Serrano and painter Richard Phillips. It's a very exciting opportunity for Peregrine.
Born in San Francisco, Peregrine attended the Kansas City Art Institute. Her prints were purchased by the Whitney Museum of American Art, establishing her as the youngest living artist to be included in the permanent collection. Her sculptures, imagery, and texts explore themes of sexual vulnerability, trends in disease, and social hierarchies. Peregrine currently curates projects and annual events through, "Fahrenheit," and owns the lingerie boutique "Birdies." Peregrine's work is part of the permanent collections of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and The Chicago Art Institute. She has had solo and group exhibits in Santa Fe, Kansas City, and Chicago, New York and across the globe. Peregrine is a recipient of the Art Omi International Artists' Residency, the Charlotte Street Fund, and an Inspiration Grant. An extremely busy artist, she also recently produced the magazine Widow in collaboration with Landfall Press.
Perergine chose not to alter her doll at all, feeling more comfortable making a drawing of it instead. The framed drawing, entitled "Banana Boy" will accompany the doll that inspired it.
