Poppy Faun | Muse

Poppy Faun
Muse
Original oil painting | Retro-surrealism

Muse is among Poppy Faun's most conceptually loaded titles — a word that has always been gendered in the art historical tradition, designating the female figure who inspires the male artist, the passive subject rather than the active creator. Faun's retro-surrealist practice has always been interested in these kinds of gendered asymmetries, and Muse gives her the opportunity to investigate the concept directly: who is the muse here, and who is the artist?

The oil painting medium gives the work a richness and authority that her mixed media pieces, for all their textural complexity, cannot fully replicate. For collectors in Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, and London seeking a Poppy Faun oil painting of genuine formal and intellectual substance, Muse is among her strongest works. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot.
