Los Angeles painter Faris McReynolds uses multiple points of view, a saturated color palette, and an exaggeratedly loose and heavy-handed interaction with oil paint to achieve a kind of psychological realism in his canvases, even as his figures and spaces threaten to explode at any moment. A narrative cohesion that centers around the wormholes into which boredom and escapism pitch the imagination is both reinforced and undermined by the confident splash and verve of McReynold's muscular musicality. Speaking of which, his music projects, Caveperson and ExDetectives, with their funky fusion of gritty, low-fi techno and melodic backbeats, form the perfect soundtrack for the paintings.
