Max Ferguson Paintings

American, b. 1959
Max Ferguson is a contemporary American artist born in New York City in 1959, known for his meticulously rendered, realistic oil paintings of urban scenes. Ferguson's work often captures vanishing aspects of New York City, including its subways, Coney Island, and historic architecture, as a way to preserve them for future generations. His art is deeply personal, often featuring himself and his father as subjects, and is known for its quiet, introspective quality. Ferguson's paintings are included in numerous prominent public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

Red Ice Block Tongs

By John Morfis

Located in Sag Harbor, NY

An oil painting of an antique pair of tongs, meant for use during ice fishing. Suspended from a small rope, hanging from a single nail, against a grey backdrop. Brushstrokes can be seen in the gray of the background, but are harder to make out on the subject. Morfis paints in an extremely refined, realist approach. Painting dimensions: 25 x 19 inches Framed dimensions: 30 x 24 x 1.5 inches Available at Grenning Gallery. BIOGRAPHY John Morfis was born in Glen Cove, Long Island in 1976. His humble beginnings made pursuing a career in art difficult and paradoxically necessary. Fixated on making things aesthetically pleasing, John made an extreme departure from his family life when he chose to base his life on art. Surrounded by mechanics, welders, and otherwise trade workers John had a tough time expressing his interest in a world much more utilitarian and much less expressive and impractical. With an extraordinary desire to be an artist and a grant awarded, John was able to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in painting from the University of Hartford in 1998. While there John studied oil painting under American realist Stephen Brown. John’s first solo show took place in 2007 at the Ellen Traut Collection Gallery in Hartford, CT and was a near sell out. Since then John has had success up and down the northeastern coast of the United States working with various galleries and collectors. His work has also appeared in various group shows at the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut. ARTIST STATEMENT Each painting, although a portrait of a tired hand...
