"Nature in Art at the Rainforest Art Foundation"

"Maria Faba Fouret’s Rainforest is peculiarly comic, as the frogs that sit in its pond and the birds that sit on its leaves suggests.  Its spiky leaves are figures of fun, confirming that for Fouret the Rainforest is a kind of funhouse in which all kinds of flora and fauna breed and flourish. The air of delight in Fouret’s work suggests that she thinks the idea of the death of nature is overblown.      

It seems noteworthy that all the artists in the exhibition are women, suggesting that women care for nature more than men do, and that men alone are responsible for its exploitation and devastation, that is, for the rape of Mother Nature. WM

‘Nature in Art’ opens at Rainforest Art Foundation in Long Island City

"Fouret, from France, used oil on canvas for her stunning piece, “Rainforest 2006.” At first glance, the painting appears to be the top of someone’s head with a background of a forest. The hair, however, is composed of hundreds of long-stemmed flowers and each eye depicts a frog in a pond.

“The idea is to present a vision and modern materials,” Fouret said. “Without these materials, we wouldn’t be able to express ourselves, imagine a world without a rainforest.”

Today, World Environment Day of the United Nations—an annual celebration to encourage positive environmental action—is the perfect time to inform you that the artwork you created and donated to the Landfillart Project will be included in the exhibition Second Time Around: The Hubcap as Art. The exhibition will open September 7, 2014, at The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV), in Winchester, Virginia, USA, and be on exhibit through March 1, 2015. Yours is one of 287 objects selected out of more than 1,000 artworks now in the Landfillart Collection. The exhibition presents work from artists in every U.S. state and 35 other countries. The dense, visually exciting installation has a strong environmental message and will incorporate WASTE NOT from the Green Revolution “eco-zibit,” which is based on an exhibition originally created by the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, and its Black Creativity Council and made available by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. MSV marketing strategy will seek to generate publicity for the exhibition beginning very close to the opening, for strong word of mouth at that time. We will announce the list of artists in its entirety late this summer but are alerting artists individually now, to allow sufficient time for travel planning. Opening festivities will include a Member Party (to which all artists are invited) from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday evening, September 6 ($20 per person; cash bar) and Opening Day on Sunday, September 7, to which all exhibition artists will receive free admission. Winchester is in the Shenandoah Valley, 72 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. The Valley is one of the most scenic areas of the United States; the sweeping vistas of nearby Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive attract thousands of visitors annually from around the world.

III BIENAL DE ARTE MIAB - Madeira - June 15th - July st - Opening Night 15th June, 2010 Website: http://www.galeriaomaso.com/links/BIENAL-MADEIRA/bienal.htm http://www.galeriaomaso.com/ VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrcTx8j2A4c

Value of the imagination The color, the volume and the textures are the main protagonists in the work of the artist FABA. With these three elements it represents Faba paintings as well as her sculptural work. We find gestural lines of chromatic harmony in her brushstrokes as in her molds. Faba creates pieces that break borders as they speak in a form that we can understand and live art, utilizing the painting and the sculpture as an expression of feelings and a way of perceiving the world. FABA treats her work with bravery. Creating mysterious, original, impressive, unknown, and unusual pieces. At the same time, they all perceive a sensation of elegance and grace, that makes them unmistakable. A sample of the imagination in movement, shades of intense colors and electrifying contours. Forms and full plans of spontaneity, smoothness and brilliant waves. A work that is nourished by the fire of the light and color, treating it with passion, emotions and temperament. In which we can discover a loaded background of reminiscences of mosaics and crafts. Faba painting surprises us with a full abstraction of light, color and volume. The images represented are inflamed thanks to the layers of color and the objects incorporated. Energy beatings brushstrokes that compose full pieces of rhythm and musicality. Enigmatic series and repetitions of highly symbolic degree that invite us to a trip through abstract, biological or astronomical forms. A full almost hypnotic rhythm of imbalances that creates a species of tense calm (calm tense), and hides a reflexive will. Faba paintings that have the capacity to intrigue us, with her thick oil lines that reveal the general sense naif of her work. Vibrant textures influenced by the cities of Seville, Madrid and Washington, where she grew up and the artist was formed. Her pictorial work is a hybrid between painting and sculpture of base-relief, where each creation is seen completed by the juxtaposition of objects and material, rich oils in oils and pigments accentuated with brilliantine, flora and sand. Faba last works in sculpture are the result of a coherent evolution in her work. If her painting has always been characterized for a conception of materialistic, why not to take a step forward to the three dimensions. Faba sculptures that show a lot of paint, just like her paintings speak with the relief. Faba models her painting and draws her sculptures. The sculptures of FABA are shaped, cooked and painted by hand with reverberant colors, creating some figures, that form a way of caricature, they portray the current world. Just like her paintings, we see as in her sculptural work also explores with the dimensions and textures. Busts or simply busts of necks stylized that transport us to an ambiguous and multiracial world, always with a touch of humor. Representations of a various group stereotyped of personages as the prostitutes, bullfighters, Indian, military, African princes... The work of FABA is, in all the senses, a brave bet by her imagination, being set apart of a realistic vision. A work where we find homages and references, allusions and winks to different artists and to the personal life of the author. Oscar García García Licenciado en Historia del Arte y Especialista en Valoraciones Artísticas Polyphonic Abandon in the Work of Faba By D.F.Colman )

Fired by an elemental understanding of the flow of the unconscious, Faba’s polyphonic paintings have a thoroughgoing sense of elegance and grace. In her Abstraction Series Faba activates the picture plane with just the barest flicker of an internalised intensity, a slow burn of recognition ignites the imagery due to the artist’s incremental (and often extremely gingerly) layering of her brush strokes and incorporated objects. Once applied in what appears to be a mental state of nuance control the artist’s colors and febrile contours take shape within Faba's worlds in which horizons, edges and the unseen world in general is manipulated in order to get our imaginations moving. The result is electrifying. Art, like life, rests within its details and Faba has a strong grasp of the importance of applying contrasts in her work in order to jump-start the imagination of the beholder. In works such as Abstraction Series #1 where the saturated picture plane is filled with surges of energetic and involute brush strokes the artist has produced an imagistic rendering of dots and striation strewn against an undifferentiated color filled background. The renderings of shapes and outlines which might generally be related to the retinal recognition of objects in Faba’s work might be seen as equivalent to Sartre's imaginative consciousness. As he states in his The Psychology of the Imagination, it presents itself as a spontaneity which produces and holds on to the object." By contrast, Faba’s diffused background on which rests her slightly undulating, patterns may be seen as equivalent with Sartre's "perceptual consciousness" in which it is characterized as appear[ing] to itself as passive." The interplay between both forms of knowingness produces spontaneity which saturates Faba’s Abstract Series with a soft and bright intensity. Faba charges her work with intimations of play and poignant longing for time passing. There is a metaphysical sense of anxiety that pervades this moody work in which implied oppositions are put into play. The suggestion of eternal recurrence, so valorised by Nietzsche in his "Ecce Homo", seems particularly noteworthy in this work. Here the affirmation of passing away and destroying and the implication of the unconditional and infinitely repeated cyclical course of all things pervades this imagistic painting. In Abstract Series, what is perhaps her most enigmatic work, Faba's attempts to conflate the space of representation with that mysterious non-mimetic "other space" assigned to the mystery of looking itself. The role of a collective unseen, therefore, is played against that which is demarcated and de notated. A slippage of yet complementary viewpoints predominates in these remarkable works as a quality which Gombrich calls "perceptual inter-subjectivity" prevails. This inter-subjective bias, (as Merleau-Ponty describes it) means that each and every viewer possesses an

i> Experimental _film Inspired by my love for the amazing talent of Faba Fouret http://www.fabashop.com/index.html Directed by Pat Morgan Dujat. From three magnificent paintings, including LoLi - La Prostituta : the characters appear and disappear constantly as a kind of love's trance. " I have energetically played with the keys of my iMac ! After first listen, I chose to keep this kind of flamenco's brutal style ! A spontaneous desire : my own vision of these beautiful canvas, like a " love's struggle " between two girls and one man. " Loli - The prostituta " remains the central element, with around her a kind of battle, almost maddening .. may be the other two characters want to hunt Loli of the screen ? ! i have used a fast rate : the heartbeat's acceleration when you are falling love .. that is an impossible situation !! .. olé ! This experimental film is part of my live & tactile new approach : no post-production intervention. A delicate exercise, totally improvised .. a little bite " underground ", like i love ! May be the nostalgia of the psychédélic part of my life, when we created several amazing " Light - shows " at the Modern Art Museum of Paris. For me, the digital appearance of iphone-cam's images with presence of pixels does not matter, in fact, it gives a visual impact which will remain in our collective memory as the beginning of the XXI century, marked by the expansion of computers and smartphones."

Autora (Author): Faba. New York (EEUU / USA) Título (Title): "Birds of Paradise - Blue" Oil on Canvas PRIMER PREMIO de PINTURA GRAN TAMAñO First Prize - LARGE Size Comentario: Inusual. Extraña. Sobrecogedora y llena de misterio. Si no se conoce el título de esta pintura, miles de interrogantes podrán asaltar al espectador que la contemple. Ése es uno de los mejores (en mi opinión) aderezos del Arte: su capacidad para intrigarnos; cuanto más tiempo, mejor. Conociéndose el título, la intencionalidad de la autora todavía puede picar más nuestra curiosidad: "Pájaros del Paraíso, en azul", más o menos, se nos dice en inglés... Un título muy descriptivo para una pintura sumamente abstracta, en la que sólo los ramalazos azules parecen corresponderse con aquél. Abstracción casi completa, aliñada de gruesos y trabajados regueros de óleo (por otra parte, cuidadosamente trabajados, y de unos dos centímetros de grosor). Son tiras de pintura que nos transparentan el sentido naíf general de esta pintura. Una obra muy valiente. Antonio Gualda. Granada, Noviembre de 2006. Commentary: Unusual, strange, moving and full of mystery. If the title of this painting was unknown, the spectator would ponder a thousand questions. This is one of the most interesting elements of the piece; its capacity to intrigue which only seems to widen over time. On identifying the title, the intention of the author still stimulates our curiosity: "Birds of Paradise - Blue"... A very descriptive title for an extremely abstract painting. It’s an example of almost complete abstraction, flavored with thick paint and oil drips, while on the other hand carefully worked with two centimeter thick paint. They are painting strips that are transparent the general naïf sense of this painting. A very brave work. Antonio Gualda. Granada
