Norman Perryman creates unique visual responses to music in a dynamic style which moves between figurative and abstract.

Norman paints on modified overhead projectors, allowing the audience to watch the constant evolution and dissolution of his abstract kinetic image-sequences. He paints vivid flowing or exploding colours or dancing brush-strokes to a carefully rehearsed graphic choreography. The musicians or dancers stand or perform in these color-projections, thus becoming totally integrated in the visuals and reacting to them.

An accomplished master of his art, Norman'scontinuous visual creations are full of energy and rhythm. This is like watching visual music, with every brush-stroke timed to the music.

" A musician, who makes music with his brush." 

Yehudi Menuhin

" Confluence - Concerto No. 4 with the Asko Ensemble was a success. With enormous flair, composer Huang Ruo processed finely-ground Stravinsky ingredients and spicy Oriental sounds into a movie-like festive meal. This was intensified by the co-composed live continuous painting projected above the musicians. Brush artist Norman Perryman found the Chinese touch brilliantly, here and there literally underlining the musical sounds."
