Sean Savage Ferrari: PG Studios - Online Exhibition 03

Deeply engaged with the materiality of landscapes, Seán Savage Ferrari forges a practice that combines and merges craft techniques with found objects and organic matter with industrial refuse. Assembling materials embedded within his local topography, he recontextualises traditional and contemporary approaches to landscape, offering a method that challenges established perspectives of perceiving, depicting and engaging with the environment. Central to his artistic practice is the technique of assemblage, where he amalgamates both natural and cultural elements into his compositions, carrying personal and collective memories tethered to matter. The connection between memory and materiality bridges the tangible and intangible realms, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between self and surroundings. His sculptural assemblages encourage introspection, nurturing a deeper understanding of our place within landscapes and ecological communities.

Originally from Gloucestershire, Sean studied for a BA in Visual Cuture at UWE in Bristol, before moving to Brazil to undertake an artist residency in the Amazon rainforest. When he returned to the UK he took part in the alternative art programme School of the Damned (a nomadic art school run by its students). Last year Sean participated in Land, Sea, Air - a group show at Palmer Gallery, as well as Primordial Soups at Mucciaccia Gallery in London. He now lives and works in London.
