Chris Ferrigno'Pondering' by Chris Ferrigno - Figurative Female Nude - Pencil on Paper1972
1972
About the Item
Chris Ferrigno's 'Pondering,' a masterful expressionist pencil drawing from the 1970s, captures a contemplative female figure, rendered with exquisite attention to detail and emotional depth. This 33" x 26.5" piece, set against a paper canvas, showcases Ferrigno’s skill in creating texture and shadow, employing various grades of pencil to enhance the artwork's tactile quality. The monochrome palette emphasizes the introspective mood, directing focus to the subject’s expression and posture, which suggest a deep engagement with unseen thoughts or distant horizons.
The figure’s reclined pose and upward gaze, combined with the soft, sweeping lines that envelop her, evoke a sense of serene introspection. The artist's use of light and shadow not only contours the form but also highlights a melancholic ambiance. This artwork, framed to accentuate its timeless elegance, invites viewers into a moment of quiet reflection, offering a glimpse into the subtle complexities of human emotion.
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.
