Faigin’s paintings explore his two favorite themes: altering one’s perception of the commonplace and developing mood through intense contrasts of light and dark.

Faigin is the Artistic Director and co-founder of Gage Academy of Art in Seattle. He is the monthly art critic on Seattle’s NPR station, KUOW. A retrospective of his paintings was presented at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle in July and August of 2001.

A virtual tour of Gary's studio, using a new Microsoft program called Photosynth, is now available online.

His work is represented by the Woodside/Braseth Gallery in Seattle.
