Scott Ferry
Scott Ferry was born and raised in Los Angeles, growing up in the punk, death rock, neon florescent, and chaos orientated 80’s. He currently exhibits actively in the southwest as well as the northeast. Scott works in the mediums of drawing, painting, and mixed media. His artwork is inspired by spirits and ghosts, dark eroticism, subtle disturbances, and nightmarish reflections. His current series “Charnel Grounds and Sickly Playthings” is a personal journey teeming with metaphors, polar opposites, the sadistic, the masochistic, cute and funny innuendos.
These works may not immediately appeal to the light hearted, but beyond the unsettling union of the sometimes cute and somewhat grotesque, one may also find the eye getting lost in the rich hypnotic and devastatingly colorful imagery. This makes for a nice balance and almost psychedelic touch. There is an almost liberating child-like quality of unrestricted content.
Scott’s work uses a variety of mediums. Pigment inks, gel inks, watercolor, Copic markers, and acrylic paint. The frames are also hunted down and reworked with little sculpted character heads, shapes and symbols within the artwork itself.
