About the Item

Jeff Faust draws from the rich tradition of highly illusionistic canvases, where the eye perceives a sophisticated depth. Faust's ability to blend the ordinary with a touch of the extraordinary invites viewers into a world where inanimate objects hold a secret life. The concept of still life as "arrested life" is central to understanding Faust's art. His paintings often juxtapose the animate with the inanimate, bringing a dreamlike quality to everyday objects. This duality, where the exterior world is transformed into an interior fantasy within the artist's studio, resonates deeply with viewers. This still life captures the notion that the present moment and arrangement of objects define the artist's values. The objects, both kept and newly introduced into the studio, evoke their external origins and associations, blending the contrast between exteriority and interiority with the interplay of inanimate objects and imagined animation. This 50-inch tall by 40-inch wide original artwork is a surrealist composition in acrylic on canvas. This artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It is signed on the front and the back of the canvas. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Jeff Faust, a California self-taught artist, finds strength in simplicity, shaping his unique style—dubbed "subtle surrealism" or "visual forms of the written word." His paintings feature intriguing juxtapositions, blending clouds, ropes, leaves, and eggs to evoke nuanced narratives. Faust's creative process is dynamic and thought-provoking. Through his art, Faust aims to create windows that offer viewers a respite from the loudness of the world, encouraging them to re-center themselves and find solace in the simplicity and complexity of his visual narratives. Faust's exploration of trompe l'oeil within his still lifes adds another layer of complexity. This technique, which plays with the viewer's perception, connects his work to the historical tradition of illusionistic painting. The pleasure derived from recognizing an object as a mere representation rather than reality is a central element of this art form. Faust's still lifes, whether through their realistic depiction or their playful inversion of everyday objects, challenge the viewer to reconsider the boundaries between art and reality. His work is a testament to the enduring power of still life painting to evoke both wonder and introspection. Faust’s works have been showcased in numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.

The Smallest Event Unfolds Like a Fate, surrealist landscape oil painting
By Eileen Murphy
Located in New York, NY
Eileen Murphy’s paintings on panels are a mirage of disparate memories. Lived experience, borrowed art historical footnotes, and imagery drawn from literary references swirl together and coalesce into shimmering sylvan scenes. Allusions to Patinir, Jacob von Ruisdael, Frederick Church, lines pulled from Rilke, and Murphy’s own personal history emerge deftly from the same brushstroke. The result is images that are simultaneously foreign and familiar, deeply intimate yet shared in a common vernacular. Murphy builds these compositions from layers of carefully applied oil paint, her brushstrokes growing increasingly specific and nuanced with each new stratum. Because she works on panel, the pigment is not absorbed into the material, but rather, sits atop the surface, the color remaining fully saturated. Without this anchoring effect, Murphy’s landscapes become lofty and voluminous, further intensifying their surrealist quality. Eileen Murphy has spent her life along the Hudson River and has lived in Brooklyn, NY for the last seventeen years. Her current paintings are based on the landscape of Columbia County...

"A Shared Expectation" - Surrealist Ethereal Acrylic Painting by Jill Daniels

This ethereal artwork measures 40 inches high and 30 inches wide, with a vertical orientation that demands attention. Designed for your convenience, it comes stretched and ready to hang, and painted on the sides to provide a seamless continuation of the painting without requiring framing. A distinctive hand signature by the artist can be found in the bottom right corner, adding a personal touch to the piece. This artwork is from the artist's "Stories Of The Unseen". She says of this collection, "Home, and the objects that make up the place where we dwell. Can these basic elements of our daily existence take us beyond our mundane tasks? I pose the question that they may guide us in our earth bound life, while being a framework to transport us into a higher plane. You the viewer will find the answer." Jill Daniels’s talent as a painter also translated into a highly successful career working with entertainment studios. Jill is a two time individual achievement Emmy winning Art Director, Emmy nominated Producer, and visual development artist. Her artistry has been crucial in developing the look for many Emmy winning productions for a wide variety of studios including, Netflix, Disney Animation, Illumination / Dreamworks / Universal, PBS, Sony Pictures, CTN Development Shorts Program, FOX, Warner Brothers, and Nickelodeon Original Movies to name a few.
