Perspective at The Coningsby Gallery is British-Swiss artist Nicholas Ferguson’s first solo show and will showcase a series of striking self-portraits and paintings paired with poetry, likened in their palette to the works of Peter Doig and Edvard Munch and compared thematically to Surrealism.
Ferguson believes in the transformative power of art, and he is interested in how the ego, while serving to keep us safe, can prevent us reaching our full, unbounded potential. In his paintings, the goat (ego) and the featherless rooster (creative genius) are set within fantastical narratives that occur to him intuitively.
He has exhibited in numerous group shows in London, Italy and Switzerland, winning the ‘Most Uplifting’ award at the Lockdown Collective exhibition at the Department Store gallery, Brixton, in 2021. His work can be viewed @TheColourofSplash
“Self-reflective” zoom-portrait commissions are another part of Nicholas Ferguson’s practice, and those interested in commissioning a portrait are invited to contact The Coningsby Gallery.
