Born in New Hampshire, Perrin Hendrick spent his youth exploring the woods and farmlands of New England. This time outdoors cultivated a deep love and connection to the natural world. Perrin now spends his time exploring the spaces where the purity of the wilderness meets the edge of the human spirit.
His paintings have become known for their ability to conjure up an unromantic nostalgia while at the same time creating a compelling dissonance. Pushing this duality further, his painting often reveals the line between reverence and fear; between the desire to surrender to the natural world and the compulsive need to control it.
This human struggle is often manifested in the rich texture of paint through which the artist physically wrestles in an attempt to describe the landscapes of New England which have become sacred to him. The result becomes vibrant, richly textured landscapes that are at once ambiguous and deeply personal points of view.
