August Featured Artist: Candace Fasano

I just love it when an artist seems to take a bit of a break for a while and then BOOM!, comes back strong!  Such seems to have been the case with Florida artist Candace Fasano, this month’s Featured Artist.

Double Exposure by Candace Fasano

Long time Artsy Forager readers might remember Candace’s work from way back in July ’11 ( where have the past two years gone?? ).  Over the past few years, I would occasionally glimpse a post on her blog or Facebook page, but then just within the last few month, suddenly it seemed like this artist was back and she meant business!  When I clicked on a blog post back in January, I was thrilled to see a bunch of new, exciting work looking back at me.

Fasano is still playing with her imagination ( and ours ), delving even past narratives into the worlds of scientific mapping and microbiological patterns.  There is still the typography and wispy lines that are part of her artist’s signature, but these new paintings seem to be an artist who has discovered new caves to explore and is diving deeper beneath the surface.

I’m so excited to feature the work of Candace Fasano all August long here on Artsy Forager!  Be sure to check out her website, blog, and Facebook page.  You can see one of Candace’s paintings gracing the Artsy Forager Facebook page, too, as well as a whole album of my favorite Fasano works!
