“Visual Poetry” is how Jeff Faust describes his work. The visual vocabulary he uses comes from pieces of nature collected on walks as well as everyday objects. “I have a fairly active daydreaming mind. I can pick up a twig and it will trigger a thought of an image…”
Faust studied the art and lives of many artists creating a visual education for himself. Years of study, experimentation, and self-discovery is reflected in the simplicity and balance of his unique style and vision.
Henri Matisse once stated that he wanted his art to be like an armchair. Jeff Faust considers similar notions. “I like to think of a lot of my paintings as being a stopping place…like a bench where you can just sit and think.
