British-Swiss painter, Zoom-portrait artist, and poet Nicholas Ferguson will present a series of paintings exploring the relationship between the ego, represented by the goat, and creative genius, represented by the featherless rooster, at The Coningsby Gallery.
About
After a successful career in Marketing for the Beauty Industry, London-based artist Nicholas Ferguson has since turned to painting. Perspective at The Coningsby Gallery is his 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 thefeatherless 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.
The gallery is open Monday-Friday 9am until 6pm or by appointment on weekends.
