Alan A. Peralta (b. 1995, Brawley, CA) is an artist, educator, and IT "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 and Tokyo. He works full-time at MIAD in their IT dept. and also teaches drawing in the Fall.
Peralta’s practice spans drawing, painting, mixed media, and installation. His work pulls from personal memory, cartoons, art history, and pop culture. 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.
