The Exhibition
Marc Ferraro's work explores the fundamental language of painting through bold gestural mark-making and material experimentation. In these paintings, Ferraro investigates how different applications of paint can create varied visual vocabularies, sometimes using recognizable motifs from art history—such as action painting or geometric abstraction—as a starting point that he then dissolves and reimagines, playing with viewers' expectations of familiar painterly themes.
Central to Ferraro's practice is an emphasis on the physical presence of paint itself. His works blur the line between painting as illusionistic space and painting as a tangible object, inviting viewers to consider the materiality of the medium. This tactile approach extends to his sculptural works, which begin with discarded furniture pieces that the artist reconfigures and transforms. Through additions of papier-mâché and clay, these sculptures develop richly textured surfaces that bear traces of their former lives while becoming entirely new artistic statements.
Presented together in the window display, the paintings and sculpture create a dynamic dialogue. The gestural vocabulary of the paintings encourages viewers to read the sculpture as an abstract composition rather than a functional object, while the sculptural work challenges the paintings' boundaries as contained spaces. This interplay highlights Ferraro's broader investigation into how we perceive and categorize artistic objects, making each work both independent and part of a larger conversation about contemporary art-making.
