The new exhibit, "Mixed Media Works by Lawrence Faust," are on display now thru December 15th at AAHMSNJ's Atlantic City museum in the Noyes Arts Garage (2200 Fairmount Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ).

Faust's work has been categorized by others as folk or outsider art, but the artist defined his style as expressionist. Faust described his artwork as a “middle way between a formal and symbolic language” and strove to speak from his African roots. Whatever the classification, he was clearly passionate about exploring the subjects of spirituality and joy in his work.

Color, motion, and fantasy were as relevant to his work as the wood and metal with which he created his figures, forms, and machines. His intention was to lift the spirit, evoke a memory of Africa, or remark on the human condition in his unique way. His wry observations of the world he knew have continued to charm those who have viewed his work since his death in 2014.
