We are thrilled to announce our participation in the Outsider Art Fair with a dual artist installation of new and recent works by Elbert Joseph Perez and Joshua Nazario.
Elbert Joseph Perez (b. 1991, Brooklyn, NY) is a self-taught artist whose career has developed alongside his work as an auto body mechanic in his father’s garage. Perez brings a sharp, unflinching eye to the fractures of contemporary life through oil paintings that fuse critique, humor, and tenderness. He has become known for his masterfully rendered oil paintings which combine personal symbolism with cultural references indark compositions often inspired by art history.
Perez's debut exhibition with the gallery TO HELL WITH THE GANDER opened in September 2025 and coincided with the release of his first monograph, Elbert Joseph Perez: Barking at the Moon.He has exhibited at venues including Rachel Uffner Gallery, NY; Jupiter Contemporary, FL; Venus Over Manhattan, NY; and EMBAJADA, PR. His work can be found in public collections including The Aishti Foundation, Lebanon; The Bunker, the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, West Palm Beach, FL; and the X Museum, Beijing, China. Perez lives and works in Hudson, NY.
Joshua Nazario (b. 2001, San German, Puerto Rico) is a self-taught artist currently based in Isabela, Puerto Rico. Raised in the neighboring town of Sabana Grande, he grew interested in culture, cars and sports such as basketball and cycling. It was his exposure to skateboarding's creative culture during his teenage years that served as a catalyst for his art practice. These
diverse interests have become the back bone of his artistic approach today.
Nazario will open a solo exhibition at Luis De Jesus gallery in Los Angeles which will run concurrently to the Outsider Art Fair. He has exhibited in group shows between New York, Puerto Rico and Los Angeles for the past three years at galleries and fairs including his first solo exhibition at EMBAJADA, San Juan (2024), First Solo Museum exhibition at MUSAN, Santurce,
Puerto Rico (2025) Solo Booth at NADA NY (2025) and group exhibitions at Future Fair, New York (2024), PROXYCO, New York (2024), DinnerGallery, New York (2022), and Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles (2022). Nazario is represented by EMBAJADA gallery.
