Artist Statement for Scott Ferry

Scott Ferry
www.scottferry.com
I am a Los Angeles-based artist, who works between both Los Angeles and Montreal. My work is inspired by spiritism, dark eroticism, subtle disturbances, and nightmarish reflections. My current series (Charnel Grounds and Sickly Playthings) is a personal journey teeming with metaphors, beautiful and painfully violent experiences, the sadistic, the masochistic, and funny innuendos. I have exhibited in solo and group shows in California, Arizona, Washington, and Quebec, Canada.
I am inspired a lot by surrealism, dadism, and other various automatic and material altering art philosophies. As well Darger, Austin Osman Spare, and Rosaleen Norton. Though I can’t quite say if my work really engenders those ideas in a physical way, but more possibly on an internal level. I have begun to include particular animals and spirits (in various forms) into my work as a way of highlighting my inner character on various levels and how I perceive and react.
My drawings, as I call them, are a mix of pigment ink, gel inks, and markers on Arches paper. I have been slowly incorporating water colors as well into this mix. The framing I have begun to include in the process by searching out frames and reworking them. Adding sculpted symbols or characters that are seen here and there within the series.
