Robert Ferrandini
Robert Ferrandini is one of the most admired painters working in New England. For over twenty-five years he has been celebrated for his haunted and glorious landscapes, which incorporate imagery culled from art history, film, literature, and popular culture. In both urban and bucolic settings, Ferrandini has made work that communicates a prophetic foreboding while simultaneously concocting voluptuous conceits that contend with masters in the history of landscape painting.
Since a 2001 stroke that deprived him of the use of his right hand, Ferrandini has painted with his left hand, primarily in watercolor, producing increasingly complex works, unpopulated invented landscapes and seascapes suffused with broad ranges of color, exuberant mark making, and a rapturous glorying in visual phenomena.
Ferrandini's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Harvard University Art Museums, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC, among others.
