Listen "S15 E07: Recasting The Familiar with Faith Bryant"
Episode Synopsis
Overfamiliarization can blind us from recognizing the beauty and power of
certain truths. When we think we have heard the story before or believe we
already know what a particular truth has to offer, we lose the curiosity
that opens us to deeper revelation. The work of the artist is to disrupt
that familiarity, make the known strange again, and the familiar unfamiliar
again, so that we see the world anew.
My guest today is New York-based visual artist Faith Bryant. Faith's
original style of oil painting recasts the gospel story through the lens of
surrealism and deep color theory. Her work explores the complexities of
Christian faith, personal identity, and the journey of healing. Through her
layered compositions and hidden imagery, Faith invites viewers to take a
second look at the truths we thought we understood.
