For nearly forty years Norman Perryman has been pioneering a unique art form as a performing artist.

He creates kinetic paintings to music - live in concert. As he paints on multiple overhead projectors, the audience can watch the evolution and dissolution of his fluid images on a giant screen. This audio-visual harmony enriches the musical experience and touches people deeply. 
The colours have a sensual, organic quality as his brushes cause them to flow, pulsate or explode, synchronized to the music.
