Everard Read London presents new paintings by Guy Ferrer
April 11, 2020
Hours of isolation are the preserve of many artists for most of the time, but the past several weeks of confinement have been particularly fertile for French artist, Guy Ferrer. The days have been noticeably quieter around his studio in Perpignan where Ferrer continues his investigation into the duality of life and the universe, using his artistic practice to search for meaning and share his revelations with others.
Ferrer has always found solace, nourishment and indeed delight in his studio; a spiritual sanctuary and space for creation. “The studio for the artist, is surely the place they cherish above all others. ... It's an extension of oneself, it amplifies like a drum the tragicomedy that is the life of one dedicated to the unbelievable madness to create. This is where I spend most of my time, willing the next path of discovery, finding steppingstones towards progress and poetry - and flowers to offer to others.”
Rich in symbolism and characterised by highly textured surfaces, Ferrer’s work is deeply concerned with the numinous. His relentless energy comes from a spiritual necessity to make art which has given life to a thirty-year career of making paintings and sculpture that seem to vibrate with ethereal energy and which connect with audiences across countries and cultures.
