About the Artist

In 2017 Madison Faile was honored by his alma mater Troy University which hosted his Exhibit, entitled *Apparitions*, showcasing the works over his young career. At first blush, the title and creations would indicate a collection of paintings and sculptures of supernatural appearance. Yet, the very definition of apparition is the appearance of something remarkable or unexpected or the act of becoming visible.

Madison’s talent in drawing is remarkable and his compositions unexpected. He obtains the rare ability to paint emotions on canvas. Whether in the searching gaze of a clown or the ethereal stationary flight of black birds, intuitive feelings consume the canvas and viewer.

And from those feelings, one begins to see Madison: he is visible within his works. His experiences in life both joyous and melancholy, his constant curious exploration of various mediums of art and his growth as he pushes to find the best within himself all within clear sight.

To experience the works of Madison Faile is to follow his journey. Do not expect to do so without a state of feeling.

Madison’s works are included in private and corporate collections. His most recent endeavor is with the newly opened restaurant, Ravello, in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, which showcases Madison’s figurative paintings in a modern Italian setting.
