Nicholas Ferguson, a self-taught artist and poet out of Lausanne, Switzerland, will be showcasing his latest series at the Coningsby Gallery in London.
Through this exhibition, Ferguson examines how our perspective constructs the reality around us. Ferguson believes in the transformative power of art and is interested in how the ego, while serving to keep us safe, can prevent us from 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. For Ferguson, the concept of progress and human ingenuity is also a recurring theme.
The exhibition will run from the 31st of July until the 12th of August, 2023.
