<\/a>John Ferri, Next to you<\/em>, detail, photography. Courtesy of Gallery 1313.\u00a0<\/p>\nIn Next To You 1 & 2<\/em> the linear works show people seated on city benches, sometimes engaged and sometimes pensive and alone. The people seem to represent a cross section of a large urban centre. Another large work, Circle in the Square<\/em> is mandala-like with some hundred or more individuals caught on the move. Again each person is an individual in its movement, some hurried while others strolling casually. Viewed from a distance the people are seen almost like ants in scurrying from their nest. They become more significant when viewed closely.<\/p>\n Ferri\u2019s Giant Humans series<\/em>, framed glicee prints (archival digital prints) are smaller in size but\u00a0feel monumental. This time the people are collaged or appear to be stepping in front of large urban advertising that are using printed human faces or bodies. The individuals do not become lost with the background but seem to become even more prominent.<\/p>\n<\/a>John Ferri, Circle In the Square, <\/em>photograph, 40 x 46 inches.
