Poppy Faun | Freedom Awaits

Poppy Faun
Freedom Awaits
Original oil painting

Freedom Awaits marks a significant development in Poppy Faun's practice — the transition from her characteristic mixed media collage technique into pure oil painting, a medium that brings its own history and associations to a subject already loaded with feminist cultural meaning. The oil painting tradition has always been bound up with questions of who is depicted and who does the depicting; Faun's engagement with it is knowing and deliberate.

The title is both promise and aspiration — freedom as something that exists just ahead, that requires one more step, one more act of will. In the context of Faun's practice, it carries the full weight of the feminist tradition's engagement with liberation: both the hope and the recognition of how far there still is to go. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors in Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
