Ferjo Limited Edition Giclee on Canvas : "Art Forever "Item #: BEJ-118Title: Art Forever Edition Size: 350 Medium: Giclee on Canvas Image Size: 40" x 31 3/4" About the Art: Born Fenando de Jesus Oliveira in Bahia, Brazil in 1946, the artist who goes by the simple name of Ferjo is one of the most dynamic and intriguing artists on the contemporary American scene. His surreal, even metaphysical way with a canvas has been lauded earlier, with Ferjo winning the prestigious Crescent Scholarship; at the Pennsylvania Academy of fine Arts, and the New York Council for the Arts Award for Excellence in portraiture. However, portraits are not what we see in Ferjo's latest works. Rene Magritte, the Belgian surrealist, would be proud by Ferjo's new art - an exciting entrancing, mentally and sensually stimulating blend of the every day with the extraordinary, the plain with the place fantastic. Most of Fejo's paintings take within an abandoned interior, a room with a view" out of a large window, made up of puffy, transcendent clouds and nature at the extremes of either sunrise or sunset.
