Poppy Faun | Not Today Satan

Poppy Faun
Not Today Satan
Original mixed media collage painting

Not Today Satan — a phrase that moved from drag culture into mainstream usage in the mid-2010s, simultaneously a refusal, a boundary-setting, and a declaration of resilience — gives Poppy Faun a title that is perfectly suited to her practice. Her collage paintings bring together vintage imagery and contemporary language in compositions that are visually rich and thematically charged, the materials carrying the history of their sources even as they are transformed by combination and addition.

The phrase has a particular resonance in the context of Faun's feminist practice: the refusal of what the day brings, the assertion of agency over what one accepts and what one rejects. The mixed media collage format allows her to layer this meaning through materials as well as image — the cut and assembled surface enacting, formally, the act of selection and rejection that the title names.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors in Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
