Alan A. Peralta (b. 1995, Brawley, CA) is an artist, educator, and museum professional based in Milwaukee, WI. He received his BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2021. He regularly exhibits in local galleries and has shown work internationally in Mexico, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. He works full-time as a Preparator at the Racine Art Museum and teaches drawing during the fall semester at MIAD.

Peralta’s practice spans drawing, painting, mixed media, and installation. His work pulls from personal memory, cartoons, art history, pop culture, and everyday materials, reflecting a wide range of influences and a multicultural background. Much of his recent work centers on graphite drawings based on early Looney Tunes stills, which he alters and expands to create scenes layered with reflection and contradiction. These images sit between humor and introspection, using cartoon language to process the absurdity of lived experience.
