Connor Perry, born in 1995 in New London, Connecticut, is a Tattoo Artist and Oddity Craftsman currently based in Pawtucket, RI. Perry is best known for his black and white drawings that incorporate various textures, high contrast, and exaggerated shadows to create form and alter-arrangement oddities reminiscent of a metaphysical connection to stages of bodily decay. His works often features woodland botanicals, bones, and found objects or exploring themes of occult and witchcraft with surreal, dark, and heavy imagery.
Perry's pieces are characterized by their use of collected or home-grown botanicals, ethically-sourced bones, and reoccurring motifs of skulls, mushrooms, and tree roots or drawings of large black areas with focused highlights depicting nature. His important projects include "The Three Little Pigs" (2022), where he used mummification and home-grown plants to showcase three mummified piglets surrounded by various plants. In "The Lovely Home" (2023), Perry discovered his technique using bold negative space and textures to create balance in his work.
Connor Perry's notable exhibitions include "Familiar Territory" (2023) and "Plants of Witchery" (2023) at Third Sanctum in Warwick, RI. His unique approach to tattoo art and oddity craftsmanship has garnered attention for its intricate detail and thematic exploration of the physical and metaphysical realms.
