Chris Ferrigno'The Artist' - 1970's Vibrant Abstract Expressionism in Cubism - Chris Ferrigno1971
1971
About the Item
Chris Ferrigno's "The Artist" is a vibrant oil on canvas, embodying the vivid intensity of expressionist art with a touch of surrealism. Spanning 48" x 36", the piece is a tumultuous symphony of color and form. Bold blues, impassioned reds, and serene greens collide and complement each other, creating a visual feast that is both chaotic and harmonious. The figure within the artwork appears to be a reflection of the artist himself, a meta-narrative of the act of painting. It's a dynamic composition that speaks to the inner workings of the creative mind, the turmoil, and the ecstasy of the artistic process. This piece evokes a sense of introspection and the complexity of self-expression, inviting the viewer to ponder the relationship between the artist, canvas, and the art that bridges the two.
This piece was also part of Ferrigno's submission into the Masters Program in the early 1970's while studying under John Gutmann at San Francisco State University. Ferrigno's work unfolds a narrative in oil, reminiscent of Picasso's revolutionary Cubism with a personal twist. While the piece evokes the spirit of past artistic movements, Ferrigno's brushwork infuses a contemporary vitality, making the classic modern. The painting is a dialogue between tradition and the artist's individual voice, an exploration of identity through the prismatic lens of modern art history.
Unframed Frame: 48" x 36" x 1" - With Frame: 56" x 44" x 1.5"
About the Artist:
Chris Ferrigno, born in Los Angeles and a native of San Francisco's vibrant artistic milieu, is an artist whose roots in creativity were nurtured from childhood. His intrinsic talent for art was cultivated under the tutelage of his uncle and developed through academic rigor and athletic discipline. A San Francisco State University graduate, Ferrigno's artistic evolution was shaped by the dichotomy of his mentor John Gutmann's abstract expressionist leanings and the era's favor for photorealism.
Balancing a dual career in art and real estate, Ferrigno has spent five decades building a legacy that transcends the canvas. His properties are as much a testament to his creative spirit as his diverse body of artwork. With a profound respect for the masters of art and a personal standard that demands excellence, Chris Ferrigno continues to strive for a place among the pantheon of great artists, his life a rich tapestry of work, wisdom, and an unyielding passion for the arts.
Original, one-of-a-kind.
