Jesse Faber

'A fortunate stroke within the realm of Contemporary Art: nothing is passé, only recycled. This takes on a literal connotation with Dutch artist Jesse Faber. Resurrecting the technique and mystery of the Dutch Golden Age has been seen before through the lenses of traditional painting and photography in the last six decades, but Faber's unique vision includes the oft-forgotten materials in which masterpieces are transported and protected. Faber paints directly onto the surfaces of cardboard boxes, with diagrams of proper handling and words like 'fragile' showing through the stoic sitters of the early 17th century. A potent reminder, courtesy of Faber: what is old is new, what is new is soon historic.' Robert Fontaine, gallery director, 2012 Jesse Faber was born in the Netherlands in 1973.
