Faith XLVII is an internationally-acclaimed visual artist from South Africa who is currently based in Los Angeles.
- Technique:
Through her work she attempts to disarm the strategies of global realpolitik, in order to advance the expression of personal truth. In this way, her work is both an internal and spiritual release that speaks to the complexities of the human condition, its deviant histories, and existential search. Using a wide range of media intended for gallery settings, her approach is explorative and substrate appropriate, including found and rescued objects, shrine construction, painting, projection mapping, video installation, printmaking, and drawings. The seeds for Faith’s works begin with a raw intimacy. Exploring the duality of human relationships, her imagery carries the profound weight of our interconnectedness.
- Exposure:
Channeling the international destinations that have been imprinted on her after two decades of interacting with urban environments as one of the most renowned and prolific muralists, she continues to examine our place in the world.
Faith XLVII has created a historical mural in Manhattan for the centennial of the International Labour Organization (UN agency) with Street Art for Mankind.
