Ted Faiers @ David Lusk Gallery

Lunaresque, 1955, oil on canvas, 34 x 44 in.

Faiers (1908 - 1985) was a Canadian by birth. After a short period in New York he moved to Memphis, TN and taught at the Memphis Academy of Art from 1952 - 1977.

The works in this exhibition span a three year period that saw Faiers focus on a clean cut abstraction that recalls Klee, Stuart Davis and early American Modernism.

The exhibition, titled How to carry a cloud, includes a series of new paintings that explore hidden sources of water in the desert landscape.

He chooses fragile materials that he weaves, knots, suspends, sometimes playing with the influence of gravity, which he uses to his advantage. A keen observer, he seizes the moment and the detail to create work of unusual and poetic balance. JOCELYNE SANTOS is a color magician. As much in her paintings as in her sculptures, contrasting tones are juxtaposed with harmony, giving birth to unexpected chromatic variations. We never complete our discovery of her palette.
