CONTEMPORARY ART STOCKROOM Brett Ferry

Brett Ferry will be exhibiting as part of our SYDNEY POP-UP group exhibition Points of View on exhibition at M2 Gallery in Surry Hills from 6 - 16 June.
Please contact the gallery if you wish to receive an exhibition preview.
Brett Ferry’s paintings challenge the tradition of landscape, teasing at viewers’ perceptions and stimulating the imagination. His bold use of colour, blend and unique style are both confronting and beautiful. His most recent work explores the “post-digital landscape” derived from observation, photography and digital manipulation.

Using a variety of techniques, Ferry places high importance on traditional acts of drawing, printmaking and painting. “For me, these techniques provide a response to time and thought, and a discourse within art history. This enables me to build conceptual layers of ideas and meanings, within each piece of work.” he states.

‘My latest series of work focuses on passing unnoticed beauty, ugliness, and the resilience of the forms that inhabit transitional spaces. I am interested in the clash between high art, the traditional cliché, and the Australian obsession of the representation of the landscape. My work embraces a deadpan realism, and a parody of marks to embrace the post digital process. For me, this describes the tension between humans, technology, and nature, and creates a discourse within art history.’

Brett Ferry has completed a Bachelor of Fine Art Printmaking at Victorian College of the Arts, and a Diploma of Education at The University of Melbourne.
He recently was curated into the 2017 NotFair Exhibition, and was a finalist in the 2017 Bayside Art Prize.
