Korin Faught is an artist from LA who's paintings feature a single model painted several times in different poses in a single painting, interacting with each other, as if they are twins or triplets. They are posed inside mostly plain white interiors, bathed in natural daylight. Perhaps she is saying something about the multiple personalities that we all have, the way that we interact with ourselves when we are alone. They are just painted so beautifully and realistically. What I really am interested in is the way she paints the natural light that fills the rooms and interacts with the white walls. There are so many subtle and beautiful color shifts that happen to white when it interacts with light, and for me this is the real subject of her paintings. The top two images here are stills from the movie Silent Light, directed by Carlos Reygadas. I included them because Faught's paintings just reminded me of Reygadas's films so much. I see his films more as a sequence of slowly moving paintings than movies. Again, this movie really focuses on how daylight colors white walls and white clothing. Some of the scenes are so slow and still that the daylight seems to change within a single scene; you can see just how different the people in his movies are from moment to moment. I actually became aware of Korin's work from an interview with Adam Jones from the band Tool. Rock music has really been the gateway for me into the visual arts. I found out about a lot of the artists I like from bands like Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, Tool, Sonic Youth, etc. mentioning them in interviews or using their work as album art.
