Having arrived abroad in 1969, Perahim will liberate his creative self and paint frenetically. The French cultural environment will contribute to the considerable development of the invisible painter's work. A significant portion of his works will be exhibited on Parisian walls in the late 20th century. We cannot talk about a delimitation of Perahim's work into thematic cycles, but we can note that his characters from the second period of creation lose their human characteristics and tend more towards the demineralization specific to surrealism. The artist creates true visual narratives in which he lays the groundwork for a utopian universe. He makes dreamlike compositions, devoid of a well-defined horizon line and populated by fabulous characters. The spectacle of cutout motives and beings, to which he assigns random shapes, leads to vast methods of interpreting his works. Whether they have human, animal, or vegetable valences, his characters become authentic chimeric representations. Perahim works with photographic precision, uses more or less bizarre juxtapositions and images extracted from his subconscious. In his works we find phantasmagoric characters, included in a utopian universe. Chimeras with eccentric features are placed in an uncertain chronotope, whose coordinates are only known to the author. We now find the anthropomorphic structures caught in movement, alluding to the paradoxes of the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, Zeno. We therefore encounter the problem of movement as well as that of infinity, which the artist inevitably superimposes on his surrealist universe. Beyond the avant-garde thesis, we will also identify a philosophical or moral thesis that leads to a deeper exploration of the theme by the viewer.
