Artistic Reflections on Masculinity

In my contemporary art, I examine men in parallel. It’s well known that men face numerous challenges these days. Most men don’t express themselves very well; words don’t come easily for us. Despite all this, we can still be close and near. The men in my life are not far from me, often next to each other when we engage in activities. When we struggle to take action, we excel at procrastination, especially when there are no deadlines looming.

My fantasy for postmodern men is that we can gather to listen intently and share wisdom that resonates deep within us. As men, we can experience anger without resorting to violence, embrace our sexuality without coercion, and be wild, vital, and passionate in our love. We can embody willingness, courage, and commitment to our values and relationships. These paintings, part of my John Faul artworks, reflect men in parallel; they may seem hollow at first glance but are filled with intensity for connections, maleness, and care, ultimately exploring the theme of masculinity in art.
