Amy Ferrari - EnGaged, But Blue

In her Industrial Captivation series, Ferrari focuses on the industrial scenes found in the Hamilton area. In her own words,

"While not generally perceived as beautiful, the industrial scenes found in Hamilton (Ontario) can be captivating if one takes the time to appreciate the intrinsic beauty as elusive plumes of steam race across the sky, retreating from the mighty monuments of industry.  This collection of paintings aspires to have viewers take a more imaginative look as they mingle the majestic industrial complexes with resplendent colors and lively organic forms.

The Gage Street structure in EnGaged, But Blue is a study in blue, celebrating the juxtaposition of a brilliant color and a time-weathered industrial tanks.  While the structure seems to have a ponderous brooding demeanor, the curves of the pipes, the yellow rails, and the trellis-like crown sitting atop the structure add a sense of levity."
