Overview

Ferrari  started  to  paint  at  an  early  age  under  the  guidance  of  his  father,  Annibal  Ferrari  and  attended  the  Art  College  of  Brera  between  1924–1928.    Returning  to  Soncino  (province  of  Cremona)  after  his  father’s  death,  Ferrari  became  an  artisan  in  stuccoes  and  fresco-painting.  From  1932,  having  perfected  his  plaster  skills  at  the  Scuola  Superiore  d’Arte  of  Milan,  and  having  taken  part  in  the  Mostra  Provinciale  di  Cremone,    his  works  became  increasingly  informal.  These  works  were  shown  in  January  1934  in  a  solo  exhibition  at  Bottega  d’Arte  Giano  in  Soresina,  but  did  not  meet  the  success  expected.  However,  the  same  year  the  artist  pursued  with  abstraction  and  experimented  with  composing  artworks  with  natural  elements  such  as  bark,  corn,  rope,  twine  and  wood-shavings.  Ferrari  participated  in solo  and  group  exhibitions  in  Italy  and  solo  exhibitions  at  Galerie  M  Bochum,  Galerie  Loehr  and  Galerie  Ernst  in  Germany.
