ABOUT
John Fergo is a multidisciplinary artist who works across a wide range of media, including writing, painting, film, drawing and photography. Following several exhibitions in Switzerland and Los Angeles, his work now explores the interconnectivity of different modes of expression.
The diversity of his art reflects the complexity of reality, capturing its organic, uncertain and anarchic dimensions. By delving into the heart of the material, the medium itself becomes the core of his work. John Fergo’s creations possess the raw power of reality. Like fragments torn from life, they are powerful, direct and intense, confronting us with the very essence of being human.
‘I have the illusion that we can get closer to the heart of things. To the inexplicable. It’s a mixture of hard work and chance. A bit like in poetry, suddenly something appears. It’s never the answer. But it can be something that enlightens us, that illuminates the depths. It’s not always perceptible, but it’s there. Something that relates to our deepest humanity, to the inexpressible, to our presence in the world.”
