Then we had Christian Faur who uses actual crayon tips to create photographic 'pixel' style art which went down really well & sold out at the gallery. It is only when the viewer gets closer that they realize that the pixels are actually crayon tips. In using crayons, Faur builds a bridge between adulthood and childhood that we all can share.
