the f gallery

John Faul’s paintings, prints, and sculptures are on permanent display at the F gallery — a contemporary creative space overlooking Hope Bay on Pender Island, BC, Canada.

Painting since the age of 8 and committing fully to a professional practice in his late 30s, Faul creates bodies of work that often emerge during times marked by grief, introspection, or social dissonance. Drawing from the emotional force of Romanticism, the gestural immediacy of Neo-Expressionism, and the introspective lens of contemporary figurative painters, his work centers the human figure as a site of memory, vulnerability, and resistance.

At the F gallery he puts experiences into visual language, crafting layered and expressive compositions that challenge how we interpret ourselves. His work invites reflection, dialogue, and discomfort. Each piece becomes a visceral map of what it means to feel.
