Dissonant Harmony in Pink and Cyan | mixed-media digital painting on canvas | 20x16

In my work, I strive to create imagery that invites the viewer to have their own subjective experience and interpretation. Though much of my work is figurative, I am uninterested in slavish representation. Instead, I use my art as an expressive outlet where I seek to convey a sense of feeling, atmosphere, transitory memory, and the existential experience of the individual.

Portrait of John Lukacs | Oil on Panel | 22" X 30"

Douglas Ferrin is a painter whose work explores intersections of realism and narrative. His style was dubbed “New Perceptionism” by the American National Gallery of Art lecturer Arthur DeCosta. This “new perception” is a style in which Roman illusionistic realism meets modern illusionism, and is camera corrected as opposed to camera conditioned.

Bring In The Clowns | Mixed Media | 30x40

Life Is A Party
CELEBRATE LIFE, LOVE, LAUGHTER AND JOY
Every moment should be a celebration of life. Our senses and our emotions can put us in touch with the magic and beauty that is around us. That is what I try to portray through my art.
My joyful, playful, whimsical images come alive with vibrant colors. They evoke the most positive emotions. Feelings of Love, Laughter and Joy.

"Old Man and His Persistent Shadow" | Oil on Canvas | 30" x 40"

MANIFESTATIONS OF DEATH, a thematically united series of 27 oil paintings, is grounded on a simple visual dilemma: how does one physically portray nothingness? The incomprehensible can only be grasped obliquely, so I have constructed a crescendo of metaphors leading up to the bleakest embodiment of this disembodied concept. The continuity of the theme is echoed in the repeated use of certain objects: masks, stars, bones, cut flowers and dead trees. Taken together, MANIFESTATIONS OF DEATH creates a metastasizing dialectic that is both varied and focused, a powerful exploration of the one inescapable event in life: its end. The complete set of variations, and four other visual variations, are available on my website.

My oil paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries in 20 states, including one-person exhibitions in four major universities. Reproductions of my work has also appeared in journals and textbooks. My art criticism has been published with Oxford University Press, NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, ANTIOCH REVIEW, SOUTHERN REVIEW, BOULEVARD and BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS.

End of the Day | Acrylic on Canvas | 60"x 48"

As an Artist I have always wanted to express the beauty of our African heritage. My paintings are an extension of the classic form of figurative painting using people of color.
Most of my paintings make statements on culture and the human condition. My challenges in creativity continue to evolve, the reason for this is evident in the many events in the times we live in and through.
