About the Item
'Pastel Repose' is a 30.125" x 29.125" oil pastel on paper by Chris Ferrigno that employs vibrant, contrasting colors and bold, gestural marks that are indicative of an expressionistic approach, where the artist's inner feelings and responses to the world are emphasized over realistic depiction. The piece employs a warm palette with dominant shades of orange and pink, juxtaposed against cooler blues and greens, creating a dynamic tension within the composition. This color choice, along with the relaxed posture of the figure, evokes a sense of introspection and tranquility as if capturing a private moment of repose. The abstracted background, with its loose and fluid shapes, suggests an environment in flux, perhaps echoing the transient nature of emotions and the human condition.
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.
