Shawn Faust, "Motorin", Black and White Equine Horse Race Charcoal on Canvas
By Shawn Faust
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
This equine drawing, "Motorin'" is a 30x40" charcoal black and white painting on canvas by artist Shawn Faust depicting a horse and jockey in full leap. Complimentary to Faust's traditional oil works, these charcoal on canvas sketches boast a clean and contemporary feeling exhibiting the muscle tone and mass of these majestic creatures. Fixed with varnish, these charcoal works are permanent and best framed or unframed.
About the artist:
Shawn’s love and fascination for drawing came as an unexpected gift from his grandfather at the age of 5. Young Faust was a tag-a-long during his grandfather’s impromptu plein air art lesson with his older brother in the back yard of his Aunt’s house. A retired director for the American Red Cross, Shawn’s grandfather, who had only recently picked up the brush himself, began a charcoal sketch that would forever change how Faust would see the world. From that brief lesson, Faust recalls vividly, “The techniques I witnessed from my grandfather that day, were pure magic!”
With his newfound gift of magic, Shawn quickly began practicing his art of 3D illusion for anyone who wanted to see it. During his childhood, you would be hard pressed not to find Shawn doodling on a piece of paper at some point during the day.
Among his favorite things to draw as a youngster were his comic book heroes. Instead of reading the comics, he spent all his time studying the line work and muscle forms of the comic book characters. And so, began his interest in portraying the human form.
Upon entering college at the University Of Delaware, Shawn enrolled as an accounting major yet emerged with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1990. At the U of D he is forever grateful for the privilege of studying under distinguished artists Stephen Tanis, Charles Rowe, Robert Straight and Rosemary Lane.
Shortly after graduating, Shawn embarked on a career in Illustration. By 1993 he had quickly become one of Delaware’s prominent architectural illustrators working for more than 75% of the homebuilders in Delaware.
Between illustration jobs, Shawn pursued his interest in portrait painting. In 1992 Faust was commissioned to paint the official portrait of outgoing Delaware Governor, Michael Castle. Continuing his quest to learn more about portrait painting, Faust studied with Daniel Greene in 1995. He credits Daniel Greene for giving him the greatest key to unlocking a whole new way of seeing and interpreting color.
By 1995, Shawn’s portrait commissions and easel paintings were supporting him as much as his illustration jobs, so he decided to focus entirely on his fine art career. This included opening a gallery and custom frame shop with his wife and brother. During the twelve years of owning and operating the gallery, Shawn continued his intense portrait research by focusing his studies on the eyes of his favorite subject, the horse.
His head studies of horses caught the attention of Mr. Richard Golden, a prominent horse owner in Chesapeake City, MD and president of Northview Stallion Station. Northview is best know for standing Northern Dancer...

Aiyekooto (Insecure) - Contemporary African Portrait with Parrot Symbolism
Located in Ibadan, NG
“Aiyekooto (Insecure)” is a psychologically resonant painting that invites the viewer to reflect on the instability of truth in contemporary society. The Yoruba title Aiyekooto translates as “the world rejects truth” a fitting metaphor for an era defined by misinformation, curated identities, and performative honesty.
At the center of the composition is a mysterious figure, partially obscured behind a sculptural, collar-like form, as though armored against scrutiny. A parrot, traditionally a truth-teller in Yoruba symbolism, perches on a branch nearby. But here, the bird becomes a subtle antagonist representing the overwhelming flood of conflicting information in our modern lives.
The figure’s intense gaze, matched by surreal accessories like a lemon slice hat and hyper-stylized garment, suggests both elegance and caution. The mood is contemplative and charged a quiet but forceful critique of societal insecurity toward what is real, what is fabricated, and what we choose to believe.
Orioye’s painterly skill, combined with his unique narrative approach, creates a work that is visually rich and conceptually deep. The balance of cultural symbolism, fashion surrealism, and psychological commentary makes this piece a timeless addition to any serious collection of contemporary African art.
Why It’s Worth the Price:
This is more than a portrait it’s a visual philosophy rendered in color, texture, and metaphor. Bukola Orioye...
