Marco Ferri

B. 1968

Marco Ferri was born in Tarquinia, in the Region of Lazio, Italy. Although he continues to be an accomplished painter, at his heart Ferri is a sculptor. His love for sculpture was, and remains, entirely designed to appear lightweight.

This Tarquiniense artist introduces a meaning of poetry and levity into his work. The seemingly weightlessness in his sculpture, however, is associated with a good aptitude for fun, as evidenced by the development of fanciful machines.

When Ferri creates his sculptures, he employs the use of found objects – the most basic wire and metal objects. He then combines elements of wood and bits of painted canvas. The result often times feels basic.

Ferri also attempts to give his sculptures the possibility of movement. His miniature mobile carts on wheels (wagons), or curious machines operated by hand cranks, are created to be devoid of a concrete outcome or functional logic.

Artist Information

artist Statement

My current practice is the exploration and recording of nature and human forms using a range of materials. I sometimes work for extended periods through my sketch/note books, frequently revisiting, rearranging and sorting as a means to create finished works.
