Exhibition reviews

Susan Snodgrass, reviewing her 2005 joint exhibition with David Driscoll at Zolla/Lieberman in Art in America saw in her work influences from computer technologies, weaving, and Islamic tiling. In other works on exhibit, Snodgrass saw "[i]ssues of authenticity and pictorial reproduction".[9]

Karen Rapp in reviewing her 2013 exhibition at the Hosfelt Gallery in Art in America writes..."Faruqee’s emphasis on the painterly process in fact gets to the heart of her interests. Serving as more than just optical games, these paintings show the artist embracing the fallibility of materiality---be it the unpredictability of her medium or the inevitability of human error. It is the oscillation between the handmade and the machine like that makes the canvases accomplished and compelling works of art rather than simply visual novelties"....[10]
