Item Description
About This Piece: This bright, entertaining mixed media drawing is an original piece that has been generously donated by the artist, Chris Pereto, a member of the AANE Artist's Collaborative. The artwork alone measures 18" wide by 12" tall. The included frame expands the dimensions to 24.5" W x 19" H.
About This Artist: Chris Pereto once explained, "Drawing is something I've been doing since before I was five. The act has always seemed, to me, to be as natural as breathing." Since his early debut as a talented artist, Chris has felt compelled to draw unguarded movements where his characters seem to be caught in the act of being themselves. He prefers using animal characters in lieu of humans because there is more freedom to play around with characterization and it's easier to avoid (and break) stereotypes.
About the AANE Artist's Collaborative: The AANE Artist's Collaborative consists of artists with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and related autism spectrum profiles. The collaborative creates an amazing opportunity for these artists to showcase and sell their work on a regular basis throughout the year. The Artist's Collaborative invites people to not only appreciate the mind-blowing artistic abilities of our members, but to also take advantage of the strikingly unique chance to see the world through their artwork, and therefore their eyes. Adults with AS often struggle with an inhibited ability to communicate verbally, but through their artwork, our artists are tapping into their rare, ingrained ability to communicate visually.
