First Play
First Play is a Silkscreen Print by contemporary artist Poppy Faun. Printed onto 270gsm GF Smith’s Zen Pure White Paper, the print is from a limited edition of 30 and is signed and numbered by the artist.
Collage artist and graphic designer, Poppy Faun, uses unique 1960s and 70s images to create an aesthetic of escapism. Futuristic and otherworldly, through the piecing together of fragments from the past, Faun’s work fuses rock and roll and retro fashion with a revolutionary edge.
Deeply reminiscent of the 1960s, First Play depicts a black and white spiral of concentric circles, spinning with hallucinatory force. Over this, Faun has collage a grainy image of a woman, her body crouched, her head tipped and her face obscured by her long, blonde hair, as she reaches forward, her finger pressed onto a tiny, miniaturised record player. Like Jefferson Airplane before her, Faun’s print is an acid take on Alice in Wonderland, reeling through a world of impossible proportions and endless possibility.

About the artist
Much of her work seems to harbour a message of escapism. Her cutouts bare an image of floating through the cosmos, make something quite classic feel futuristic and otherworldly. Acknowledging these decades as a revolution for fashion and rock and roll, Poppy pines for the past.
As well as appreciating the charming grainy quality of 60 year old magazines, she deems this chapter in history as a time of purity where social media wasn’t present and life was simpler.
Throughout her work there is repeated imagery of materialistic possessions such as fancy cars and big houses. Symbolism like this really emphasizes the hilarity of our superficial world where, in her own words “space is just a glimpse above and so dramatically bigger than any tiny problem or materialistic item we urge to have”.
Poppy has worked on commissions for major brands all around the world from Playboy.com, Mytho Series, The Flamingo Hotel in California and to even having her artwork designed on Craft Beer cans part of an artist collaboration in the UK for Crafted Cans. She has exhibited her work in Brighton, London and Milan. Some of her clients include Mike from Royal Blood and Louis Mellis, Film Writer from Sexy Beast.
