About the Artist
Best known as “Sentrock,” Joseph Perez is a self taught Chicago street artist. His early works were developed from graffiti writing in some of our city’s Mexican-American neighborhoods. Sentrock’s signature bird-mask over a human figure has become his most recognizable declaration. He describes the bird-mask as analogous to humanity: a person who is able to find or escape to their freedom by placing them in a different reality. Sentrock’s art presents undertones of hope, freedom and expression. His work encapsulates his background, history, upbringing, empathy, and compassion for his community.
