Ferjo
Born Fernando de Jesus Oliveira in Bahia,
Brazil in 1946, the artist who goes by the
simple name of Ferjo is one of the most
dynamic and intriguing artists on the
contemporary American scene. Ferjo’s
surreal, even metaphysical way with a canvas
has been lauded earlier, with Ferjo winning
the prestigious Crescent Scholarship; at the
Pennsylvania Academy of fine Arts, and the
New York Council for the Arts Award for
Excellence in portraiture.
