The Internal Affairs of Mr. Invincible
“Like works of Joan Miró, Paul Klee, and Pablo Picasso, Ferreri’s colorful drawings abstract recognizable imagery through free-association, dense patterning, and surreal juxtapositions.”
The Internal Affairs of Mr. Invincible
mixed-media drawings
The Internal Affairs of Mr. Invincible are extravagant mixed-media drawings on the editorial pages of The New York Times. Initiated in 2010 as a continuing series, they elaborate on ordinary and extraordinary phenomena, physical preoccupations, anxieties, and observations regarding the details of everyday living. Influences for these daily drawings derive from news stories, op-eds, personal interactions, memory, history, intuition, or a previous night’s dream. Narrative elements include wild and domestic animals, people, hands, tools, musical instruments, plant life, fishing gear, rope, clothespins, wordplay, and abstract configurations.
One exhibition reviewer wrote: “Like works of Joan Miró, Paul Klee, and Pablo Picasso, Ferreri’s colorful drawings abstract recognizable imagery through free-association, dense patterning, and surreal juxtapositions.” Another wrote: “His style is wild, imaginative and explodes with color.”
