Luis Perelman was born and raised in New York City.

Formally trained as an architect, he received a degree from Columbia University, and worked in architecture and city planning for many years. Since 2002 he has been director of The Blue Door Artist Association - a not-for-profit art organization in Westchester County, New York and has organized numerous exhibitions throughout the county. He has worked in a variety of media including watercolor, painting, assemblage and sculpture.

Perelman approach to art is through the exploration of space and form. His most recent work uses recycled cans to create a series of ‘quilt collages.’

His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York and the Northeast, including the Whitney Museum, the Neuberger Museum of Art, Leo Castelli and Allan Stone Galleries. In addition it is in many private collections including those of Roy Neuberger, Phillip Johnson and I. M. Pei. His most recent New York exhibition was at O.K. Harris.
