The artist reconfigured the billowing form of Hot Pink to fill the airspace of the Jepson Center atrium with color. Ferrer is best known for her colorful, sensuous and playful sculptures which have been shown in museums and public buildings from the Pompidou Centre in Paris to La Paz Bolivia, to a recent large-scale work for the Houston Public Library. Both beautiful and grotesque, Ferrer’s vibrant works are often, literally, a sensory overload. In past projects she has collaborated with performers, composers, perfumists and a pastry chef. Born in the South of France, Anne Ferrer studied in the United States, majoring in Sculpture at Oklahoma University and receiving a Masters in Fine Arts from Yale University. She returned to France completing her studies in Paris at the Sorbonne. She has shown extensively in France, the U.S. and internationally, including numerous solo exhibitions of her sculpture and paintings as well as fashion design and performance works.
