Tuscan Light: Andrew Faulkner

Pamela Walsh Gallery is proud to present Tuscan Light, a solo exhibition of new work by Andrew Faulkner. The exhibition will be on view in the gallery until March 4th, 2023.

Tuscan Light is the third solo exhibition of Andrew Faulkner’s work in the gallery and an obvious evolution in his journey as a painter. His previous exhibition, Bay Light, was an exploration of the light and colors of the San Francisco Bay Area. During the summer, Andrew traveled to Italy to study painting with Spanish artist Carlos San Milan. “I have traveled to Italy many times and I will always have a connection to the rich culture, cuisine and natural beauty. For me, the landscapes almost paint themselves,” says Andrew. Drawing inspiration from the dazzling Tuscan light and sun-soaked landscape, the new paintings are filled with rolling hills, cypress trees, terracotta rooftops and butter-yellow stucco buildings. However, there is a freshness to his approach and color combinations that make them a true departure from the ubiquitous, traditional Italian landscapes of old. Employing new techniques of palette knife application, color theory and composition, this new collection of paintings shows a progression in Andrew’s artistic practice that is evident in almost every stroke. It is thrilling to see an artist in a moment of growth and this exhibition is undoubtedly an advancement in his visual language.
