media release: Thomas Ferrella: The Illusion of Permanence

Exhibition: November 1, 2021 - May 6 (extended), Gallery Night Closing Reception: Friday, May 6, 5 - 9 PM, plus afterparty: Film screening of Ghost Wars accompanied by live music by You of All People (Ed Ahrens, Kevin Schaefer, Nick Orlowski, Phil Redman, Steve Tyska, Thomas Ferrella) in the Marzen lot, 9 - 10 PM.

Join Marzen, fine art showroom of Integrated Art Group, for The Illusion of Permanence, a solo show of artwork by Wisconsin artist, Thomas Ferrella. Ferrella explores a variety of artistic mediums, including photography, music, video, painting, large scale installations, and sculpture. The Illusion of Permanence features a collection of exquisitely painted sculptures made of burnt wood and found objects paired with intimate oil painted insect portraits on metal. Social and environmental causes are at the root of Ferrella’s work, and such is the case with The Illusion of Permanence. Though this selection of work was motivated by a desire to create something visually beautiful, a closer inspection reveals underlying themes of environmental decimation and Samsara, the circle of life. Many of the sculptures possess a kinetic element, which visitors are invited to interact with.

The Illusion of Permanence will be on view November 1, 2021 – May 6, 2022 (extended). Learn more at https://www.integratedartllc.com/marzen
