Peregrine Honig

Peregrine Honig is an American artist. Honig's work is concerned with the relationship between pop culture, sexual vulnerability, social anxieties, the ethics of luxury, and trends in consumerism.[1]

Early life and education

Honig was born in San Francisco, California[2] in 1976.[3] She attended the Kansas City Art Institute.[4]

Career

In 1997, Honig started Fahrenheit Gallery, an artist-run space in Kansas City's industrial West Bottoms, where she showed artists with national and international reputations and inspired other young Kansas City artists to do the same.[5]

Honig appeared on season one of Bravo's artist reality television show, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist,[6] which aired from June 9–August 11, 2010, finishing in second place.[7] She advanced to the final round, where she took second place after winner Abdi Farah and second runner-up, Miles Mendenhall.[8]

Works

Early sexual awakenings, the visual manifestation of disease, and the social anxieties of realized and fictional characters reveal themselves through Peregrine Honig's drawings and paintings.[9] Her work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago,[10] and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.[11]
