George Perrou Memorial

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of prolific Oregon-based artist George Perrou. George died on August 30 following a brief but aggressive battle with cancer. George is survived by his beloved wife of nine years, Stacy.

Many of you may not have known George personally, but have fallen in love with his artwork which remains as a testament to the unique man that he was – full of whimsy, charm, and humor. A self-taught painter, George began creating original work in his early 30s. His playful and nostalgic mid-century-inspired aesthetic quickly developed a loyal following and his art now hangs in homes across the globe. For more about George and his unique process, we invite you to revisit this Oregon Art Beat episode from 2008: https://www.pbs.org/video/oregon-art-beat-retro-modern-george-perrou/
