Elizabeth Fox was included in Pecha Kucha Midcoast's presentation on November 9th, 2018. Fox discusses the individual concepts behind a grouping of her paintings. A video of the talk can be viewed via the link below.
Elizabeth Fox discusses the role of intuition in the creative process in the latest issue of Artist on Art Magazine.
"I find the gut will let me know if something is working or not. In a state of awareness there is no static answer but free flow of being. The gut, intuition. Are these forms of awareness?"
Elizabeth Fox was featured on Artsy in the article Art to Buy for Music Lovers. Her works Beyonce as Venus in Giotto Blue and Beyonce with Strawberry Candy Wrappers were included alongside pieces by Lawrence Schiller and Shepard Fairey.
There is a diaspora underway in the national art culture. Artists, for a variety of reasons, are migrating to regions where a kinder quality of life may be found. They seek an economic equation that affords artists their most coveted luxury, time in the studio. These migrations are creating some interesting cross-pollination of ideas and Maine is a beneficiary of this trend. The paintings of Elizabeth Fox import to Maine some welcome characteristics from her former home in New Orleans. They have also absorbed and reflect back imagery acquired in her new home in Standish, Maine. She paints the mundane world around her as if she imagined it, dreamed it.
Elizabeth Fox was born in Orlando, Florida, in 1969, and attended the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota. She lived in New Orleans for eighteen years, before moving to Maine in 2008. She has exhibited her work in New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami, Washington, D.C., Houston, the Netherlands and at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) in Maine. Fox now lives and works in Standish, Maine.
She works in a traditional process of applying thin layers of oil paint, gradually building the painting up and allowing for drying time between each coat. The works are painted on a very smooth panel and first use a black and white layer as an undercoating. This black and white underpainting is as detailed as the finished painting. Color layers are then added on top of the black and white.
Fox states that, “I like to work from my gut, mixing the beautiful with the mundane. My paintings are deceptively simple, using a fresh color palette and hyper-defined subject matter to draw you in. There’s a sense of isolation with ample negative space and rhythmic placement of objects and figures. By emphasizing the relationships between people, objects, color, and space, everyday scenes can become mysterious, funny or strange. I leave the painting’s story open-ended, allowing its meaning the possibility of naturally changing over time.”
