REMY FAINT

Remy Faint is an emerging artist based on Gadigal Land (Sydney), working across painting, sculpture, ceramics, and installation. His practice is driven by a desire to expand the languages of painterly abstraction through an examination of its global histories. Drawing on his Chinese heritage, Faint often references collection-based objects and materials to navigate cross-cultural and material frameworks. His work explores themes of exchange, visibility, and hybridised artistic production.

The Tiger’s Mouth

Drawing from collection-based objects and materials specific to his Chinese heritage, Remy examines hybridity, flux and change through an artistic process rooted in cross-material and cultural references. Acknowledging the materiality of silk contextually, that moves between time, place and function, the works in Faint’s exhibition offer a renewed perspective on histories of representation and symbology across a hybridity of contemporary and cultural sources. Speculative forms ranging from animals, figures, architecture, foliage and personal archives are mediated with artistic processes that move between high-fired ceramic components, painterly fabric assemblages and silk-based works.
