Easy Chair by Brian Ferrell

 

Wood grain has a depth and warmth that is very engaging.  Used in combination with paint or other materials, the contrast can be dynamic. This exhibition, juried by Brian Ferrell, features work created with wood where shape, material, and surface texture imply compositional movement.  


Brian Ferrell is a Southwestern Pennsylvania artist who creates sculpture in functional forms, designing one-of-a-kind furniture and custom tableware. Since 2000, his work has been regularly exhibited in group and solo exhibits on a national level, published in "500 Tables" and "Pewter Studio" by Lark Books, and purchased by private collectors in the US and Europe. In the summer of 2008 he was honored with a solo exhibition at Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and in 2010 received a full page review in American Craft magazine for his exhibition at the Appalachian Center for Craft (Smithville, TN). Ferrell currently lives and maintains an active studio in Greensburg, PA where he is also Assistant Professor of Art at Seton Hill University. He holds a BFA in jewelry/metals from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and an MFA in Metals from the Program in Artisanry at University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth.
