About — FERRI

Statement

My work is about the joy and challenge of exploration, experimentation, and embracing the accidental. Looking back, it stands on the accomplishments of other artists, but looking forward, it seeks to create and present to the viewer things that have not yet been seen or understood.

Bio

Reviews

2025 LOOK: Series, Look Across and Tell Me What You See

These prints bring to mind the Serra sculpture in downtown St. Louis. His work consists of several large steel plates arranged upright in a triangular formation. When standing inside the sculpture, the apertures between the plates offer a framed view of the surrounding urban landscape. Similarly, you’ve created the effect of focusing our attention on an intimate section of this neighborhood, much as Serra’s approach on the scale of the city. He should be proud to share your vision. — Gregory Wagner, Wagner Art
