About the Item

This 2019 painting is from Patrick Faure’s Agnoiaphobia series. The painting is unframed, oil on canvas. About the Artwork: “For ever and ever” is part of the doxology that falls at the end of the Lord's prayer. It is engrained in the culture of Judeo-Christian tradition, and we have been convinced that the fallen soldiers of a global was will ‘never’ be forgotten. Per Sempre, non c’è (for ever does not exist) debunks the propaganda of Western culture. The viewer is faced with a scene where there is no human connection to understand the context. Only four components are available to make sense of the painting: the sky, the sea, the mountains, and an arcaded wall with a statue. The wall and statue are the only parts that assume a human presence. However, the painting provides no clue as to where the humans are. For that matter, it could be a different planet. If we are on Earth, where are we? Again, there is no indication of the location that somehow becomes immaterial. We are witnessing a monument, which at one time must have been significant, being flooded by the sea. The female-like statue is missing an arm, and the arcades have started to fall apart. Frescoes on the wall seem to relate to a message that was left for someone to decipher. The portal they created is still eerily illuminated by a light that has inexplicably survived the cataclysm of the raising sea waters. Whoever built this structure, built it for posterity. Yet, the simple forces of water are in the process of destructing it. Soon, the mountains will join it at the bottom of the sea, as have already done the people who built it. Per Sempre, non c’è. The concept of foreverness may exist, but foreverness simply does not. About the Artist: Patrick Faure was born in Monaco and gained recognition as a significant painter of Native Americans and highly realistic auto racing, Formula 1 (F1) paintings. Faure also developed as a surrealist painter, and invented a new style of painting ‘Faurism’ that challenges our understanding of the human condition based on philosophical concepts. His controversial and graphic paintings question the interrelationship of man and cosmos and his contemporary art form “Faurism” refers to a visual art style that expresses the convergence of dreams, desire, knowledge and erudition. Commonly mistaken with surrealism, his paintings hold myriad hidden messages and symbols which deal with the brutality of human consciousness and sub-consciousness. They denounce the addiction of humankind for war, and their hunger for sexual gratification, money and power. In his paintings Patrick Faure challenges our values by juxtaposing war against peace, reality against utopia, mythology and history against present and future, and ignorance against knowledge. Meticulous eyes will discover inspiration and references from philosophers and writers such as Plato, Epictetus, Homer, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and Franz Kafka. His belief is that regardless how many civilizations are destroyed by the monetization of human life, the obsession for power, and the egocentric selfishness of man, art will prevail and knowledge will be restored. Faure believes that without art and knowledge, there is no human race. Faure routinely conducts an extensive program of exhibits that include shows in Italy, England, UNESCO, and the United Nations. He is the published author of four books and has illustrated many articles and been published in many magazines and lives in London with his English partner. Surrealism, Mythical Oil Painting, Conceptual Art.

Vir Absurdus - Oil on Paper - Contemporary Painting
By Patrick Faure
Located in New York, NY
This painting is artwork of Patrick Faure, Creator of Faurism. The painting is unframed, oil on paper. About the Artwork: ‘In this subtle instant when man looks back on his life, Sisyphus going back toward his rock, contemplates this chain of actions without links that has become his destiny’ Albert Camus tells us. Vir Absurdus captures this moment, when Sisyphus let the rock roll back down the hill and has the time to look at the Mediterranean shore. We can imagine that it is his love for the sea, for the world of the Mediterranean that he incurs the wrath of the gods. He looks on that shore that is forever forbidden to him and over which hand the clouds of Hades. He is turning into a rock himself. Having been so close to a rock for such a long time, one cannot but imagine that he is becoming rock himself, suggests Camus. The objects lose their meaning. The rock has turned into the five ball of a billiard set...
