The Fine Art Paintings of Julia Faber
Sustained by the intensity and impeccability of hyperrealistic painting, Julia Faber’s work often takes us into a grotesque and surreal world. However, perfection and discipline, pushing the limits of norms and taboos, are also Faber’s main theme, unless mythology or other historical hints play a vital role. These references are always balanced with the present, as generally a combination of old and new provides a kind of bracket for Faber’s work. This also includes the important element of drawing counteracting her often dense oil painting, as well as an archive of texts and documents which are not only important research material but also integrated into her works.

Sawhorse Books is an independent publishing company based in Cornwall, UK, specializing in the production of quality picture books. Set up in 2005 by myself(Chris Odgers) as steady platform from which to commercially publish my work. The intention and ethos of Sawhorse is simply to produce a book in which i have more control over artistic, narrative and production values that sometimes have to be compromised in the wider commercial world. I do still work commercially as a freelance illustrator as well as on private commissions.
