Peri studied at Chelsea College of Art, London, graduating from the MA programme in 2003.[1] He made his debut in 2003 at Bloomberg New Contemporaries.[1] He has also shown at Art Now at Tate Britain in April 2007,[2] the Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland in September 2006[3] and his work was shown at Tate Britain's Classified and the Arts Council Collection's How to Improve the World: 60 Years of British Art at the Hayward Gallery, London. He was awarded an Anti-Social Behavioural Order (ASBO) for his work in leaving notes on his neighbours’ cars in 2021 to alert them of the fact that he objected anyone parking in the public pay and display bays outside his house other than himself and his wife.

Peri's work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Laszlo Péri (1899–1967), a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism.[4] After 1945 his grandfather adopted the name "Peter Peri" also. It is unknown whether Peter Laszlo Peri undertook any local parking activism.
