Über Jeff Faerber |
|
|
With a nod to the pop surreal, the figures in Jeff Faerber's works are reminiscent of Egon Schiele’s: thin and bony, yet more mischievous than melancholy.
Many of his works wax political while Faerber also explores his love for life, erotica and his environs with an eclectic mixture of subjects and and intelligent sense of humor.
“I am fascinated by the act of creation, whether in a set of beliefs or in a painting. By recreating the world—making a fake world on a two-dimensional surface—I often find a truth more understandable than that of the real world. What systems can I (we) create to understand the universe, good and evil, bliss? Metaphors simplify elusive ideas so one’s mind can wrap around them. I use them to help define an emotion, capture a faint impression of reality—evil can become a snake, God’s spirit can descend like a dove, a downcast eye can define sadness. The intangible become tangible.â€
Thus Faerber uses invented and borrowed iconography to mix meaning and try to make sense of what seems absurd. Creating a religious halo of foil wrappers over the head of a portrait of a porn star says a lot about Faerber's point of view, and mirrors the sentiments of many others. Often collaging found materials and painting over them, Faerber's work is heavily textured and tactile. His art is extraordinarily appealing, attractive and strange.
