Hales is excited to announce that Sarah Faux is a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grantee for 2023-2024.
Faux is a painter whose somatic work lies at the threshold of figuration and abstraction. Her paintings embrace unabashed sensuality, autonomy and pleasure. Faux's fluid compositions teeter on the edge of reality, revealing how much of our emotional and sensory lives take place beneath the surface. Initially, her works often appear abstract. Overlapping volumes of luminous color are seductively tied together by quick, writhing line drawings.

For nearly four decades, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation has supported working artists and cultural organizations internationally. Established in 1985 through the generosity of Lee Krasner, one of the foremost abstract expressionist painters of the 20th century, the Foundation is a leader in providing resources to emerging and established artists. To date, the Foundation has awarded more than 5,000 grants totaling over $87 million in 79 countries.
