Scott Ferry was born and raised inLos Angeles,
growing up in the punk, death rock, neon florescent,
and chaos orientated 80s. He currently lives
inMontrealand 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 colourful imagery.
This makes for a nice balance and almost psychedelic
touch. There is an almost liberating child-like
quality of unrestricted content.
Scotts work uses a variety of mediums.
Pigment inks, gel inks, watercolour, 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.
