Faith47

[8] Using a wide range of media, her approach is explorative and substrate appropriate – from found and rescued objects, to time-layered and history-textured city walls, to studio-prepared canvas and wood.

[5] Common themes across Faith's work include sacred and mundane spaces as well as political problems, from environmental destruction,[9][10] border abolition,[11] and humanitarian issues.

Her move into contemporary gallery and studio environment,[21] as well as her exploitive directions into multimedia projects can define Faith as a multidisciplinary artist[22][23][24] and in a league quite unique of her own.

Through this multidisciplinary exhibition in her hometown, CHANT investigates how to deal with personal events, natural disasters and disruptive external situations.

[29] 2023, CLAIR OBSCUR, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy, France [30] This is Faith's first Museum exhibition, the collection comprises wax-crayon drawings, stitched-map tapestries, installations, videos, and Polaroids that reflect on the fundamental duality between light and dark.

[32] Notable works include: Taking her inspiration from the old political slogans and stencils that were used during the struggle against apartheid, Faith used sentences from the Freedom Charter document that she felt were still pressing in South Africa.

"[12] A partnership between Faith47, Design Indaba and ThingKing, the multi-story artwork lit up at night each time enough money was raised for one new light to be installed on a pathway in the informal settlement of Monwabisi Park, Khayelitsha, through the organisation VPUU (Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading).

"[10] Painted as part of the Monument Art NYC project's focus on immigration, Estamos Todos Los Que Cabemos utilises the migratory patterns of birds, observing that nature ignores human borders on a map.

This collaboration between Faith XLVII and Imraan Christian,[34] 21.10.2015 is a series of three works, first exhibited at Everard Read gallery [35] in Cape Town.

This project took the form of site-specific mural entitled “Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto”, painted on Skid Row, Los Angeles.

[citation needed] Painted in San Francisco, The Unbound series covers the UC Hastings University of Law Building in the Tenderloin.

[38] Faith's mural, thematically based on Eirene, the Greek goddess of peace, highlights working towards a society that functions on open communication and inclusion.

[39] In the weeks leading up to the sixth Global Fund Replenishment Conference, Faith completed a mural on the Maternity Ward of the Croix-Rousse hospital in Lyon.

It was revealed along with 25 murals and installations, as part of a coordinated campaign across the globe (RED),[40] aimed to drive heat and awareness around the AIDS fight.

“Each flower urges us in a sense, towards healing as they grow out of the concrete.” [41] Faith's work has been featured in The Guardian,[58] The New York Times,[59][60] The Huffington Post,[61] and The Independent.

Often mixing religious iconography with ordinary, everyday elements and geometrical objects, her paintings, drawings and sketches seem to have an almost sacramental importance."
