Chris Ferrigno
'Nude Woman' by Chris Ferrigno - 1970s Figurative Nude Drawing Pencil on Paper

1972

About the Item

In the nuanced pencil strokes of Chris Ferrigno's 19.5" x 15" figurative nude, a relaxed yet dynamic form is captured with graceful ease. Rendered on paper in 1972, the artist's skilled hand outlines the gentle curves and poised posture of the subject, imbuing the piece with a sense of tranquil contemplation. The natural hues of the pencil blend seamlessly into the tan paper, emphasizing the organic and intimate essence of the figure. The provided frame enhances the timeless elegance of this artwork. With Frame: 27.44" x 22" x 1" 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. Represented by the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

'Woman On Chair’ Original Drawing, Figurative Nude Art By Hal Frater
By Hal Frater
Located in Carmel, CA
11x14 (with frame 19x23) Hal Frater passed away on February 3, 2008, just a month from celebrating his 99th birthday. Hal Frater had a long and prolific career. He became a sought after commercial artist for over fifty years . All the while he would return to his studio and paint for himself rather than his clients. Yet he always retained his illustration roots in wanting to tell a story on canvas with his keen eye of observation on the human condition. Often he would join fellow artists in informal sessions and paint from a model - no formal art school training but a mutually beneficial learning experience. His contemporaries that influenced him were Jack Levine, Raphael Soyer, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and Phillip Reisman...
