“Neofolk” is a new kind of folk art inspired by the narrative paintings of early colonial American and European folk art and the subconscious roots of Surrealism. “Neofolk” is the perfect way to describe multi-talented artist Anne Faith Nicholls’ current style. ”I like the way folk artists used paintings as a way to chronicle their day to day lives. So now, I am doing the same with my new experience in Los Angeles. It’s about change, relocation, growth, uncertainty, emotion, fear, love and perseverance. The show is unapologetically autobiographical and a great opportunity for a collector to obtain a deeply personal work,” states Nicholls, whose story is as colorful and unique as her art.
“Neofolk” consists of oil and acrylic paintings, drawings, installation and sculpture. The artist uses distressed wood and canvas for an antiquated look and feel that is part of her signature style. Drawings and supportive imagery will also be on display along with an installation that will give some insight to
her creative proce. Heavy with mood, her work is emotional and symbolic with her signature characters and imagery. “This will be my first major solo show in the Los Angeles area and I am excited to win over my
new hometown. My goal is to make each and every work a lovely collector’s piece, with its own unique story that someone can relate to personally and hopefully pass down to loved ones in years to come, like a family heirloom,” states Nicholls.
