John "Paul" Fauves is a Costa Rican[1] visual artist who lives and works in San José.
Fauves has exhibited his work in galleries in the United States and across Europe including Krause Gallery in New York City, Guy Hepner gallery[2] in New York City, Imitate Modern in London, and the Meir gallery[3] in Belgium. His paintings have also been featured in Vogue[4] Italia and Dansk.[5]
Education and early life[edit]
Fauves began painting at an early age as a student under the instruction of the influential modern artist Joaquin Rodriguez del Paso.[6] In 2017, after a hiatus from the arts to train in business, he began exhibiting internationally.
Artistic style[edit]
In his paintings, Fauves engages questions of identity as they relate to art history, as well as our everyday interactions with mainstream culture and social media.[7] Greatly inspired by modernist masters as well as pop-artists,[8] Fauves mixes fragments of different iconic images in vivid and colorful compositions. Fauves’ paintings take on a disorienting effect due to his technique of layering, cutting out, and collaging elements of pop-cultural images to a point where they become, not unrecognizable, but perversions of the familiar that ask the viewer to question what they think they know.
