Style and technique.
Ferris uses several main techniques in his work, including spray guns, chunky paint applied with palette knives, and most recently the application of oil and pigments to the canvas using his own body. His paintings are casualist, reference such disparate sources as pointillism, pixelation, and graffiti, and invite the viewer to question what it is they are seeing and to put the images together for themselves.
Awards.
