Peregrine Honig is an American artist. Honig's work is concerned with the relationship between pop culture, sexual vulnerability, social anxieties, the ethics of luxury, and trends in consumerism.




Early life and education


Honig was born in San Francisco, California. She attended the Kansas City Art Institute. At age 22, Honig was the youngest living artist to have work acquired by the Whitney Museum of Art's permanent collection.




Career


In 1997, Honig started Fahrenheit Gallery, an artist-run space in Kansas City's industrial West Bottoms, where she showed artists with national and international reputations and inspired other young Kansas City artists to do the same.
Honig appeared on season one of Bravo's artist reality television show, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, which aired from June 9–August 11, 2010, finishing in second place.
Honig owns a lingerie and swimwear boutique, Birdies, which opened in 2003, and is located in the Crossroads Section of Kansas City, Missouri.




Works


Early sexual awakenings, the visual manifestation of disease, and the social anxieties of realized and fictional characters reveal themselves through Peregrine Honig's drawings and paintings.

Projects


Twin Fawns (2000–current): based on taxidermied unborn twin baby fawns in a uterine glass case. The Twin Fawns exhibit exaggerated features and cartoon-like appearance. The fawns are depicted as sleeping peacefully in an artificial glass womb-like case constructed by the artist.
Bravo's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist (2010): Honig appeared on Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. She advanced to the final round, where she took second place after winner Abdi Farah and second runner-up, Miles Mendenhall. On the show she wore fashion by Kansas City designers Ari Fish, a contestant on Project Runway, and fashion designer, Peggy Noland. "Art is too often exclusive and inaccessible," says Barb Shelly of KansasCity.com. "Honig and her Bravo competitors are making it interesting and understandable." Two months after her defeat, Honig comes to Santa Fe with Loser, a collection of work both from and in response to her reality-show experience.
