Sarah Faux (b. 1986 Boston, MA, USA) is a painter whose somatic work lies at the threshold of figuration and abstraction. Working with stretched and cut-out canvas, her paintings explore the delights and contradictions of living in a body. In bold swaths of color, intertwining shapes slide and slip, pushing and pulling, as imagery comes in and out of focus. Faux's fluid compositions teeter on the edge of reality, revealing how much of our emotional and sensory lives take place beneath the surface. Faux was a 2023-24 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and in 2024, was a resident at the Clyfford Still Museum, Denver, CO. Faux’s solo exhibition, Autofriction, is currently on view at Hales New York through 26 April, 2025.
