Description: In artworks that mingle printingmaking and painting, Eduardo Fausti explores themes from the natural world. Fausti is as interested in natural history as in cultural history. And, in visual terms, he muses about what happens when the two come together positively and also when they collide.
By making the skin transparent in "Internal View", Eduardo Fausti represents the human body in its wholeness--connected to the natural world. View torso detail. Fausti writes: "All the work in this series of paintings has a direct relationship with the human body. I chose a human size and my own body as a reference for the size of the frames."
The border of affixed prints--developed from texts and figures in Chinese medicinal books--imply a scientific approach to the body. And they also suggest a cultural cross-pollination. View Chinese figure detail.
