Ginny Fox is a contemporary artist from New York whose minimalist works are characterized by the subtle interplay of patterns, structures and colors. She finds these elements both in the natural world and in fabricated materials such as weaving or architecture.
Characteristic of her work is the use of multiple panels on which a subtle and evolving narrative unfolds. Using a rag instead of a traditional brush, she applies and removes the paint, allowing her hand to be directly involved in the creative process. This unique technique lends her paintings a tangible intensity and dynamism that, when viewed from a distance, create a harmonious, meditative pattern.
The reductive quality of her work developed over many years, during which she initially created wall sculptures from found materials such as branches, bones and fabrics. Her deep fascination with physical properties and the way they interrelate led her to her minimalist language. Using wood panels one to two inches (ca. 2,5 – 5 cm) deep, her works have a noticeable sculptural sensibility.
Ginny Fox lives in New York City, near the Hudson River. The vibrant confluence of water, sky and rocky outcroppings in contrast to the reflective surfaces of the skyscrapers serves as a constant source of inspiration for her. Her studio, located in a historic carpet mill in Yonkers, N.Y., offers her a breathtaking view of the complexity of the surrounding landscape.
Fox’s work has been exhibited widely in the US, including numerous solo and group exhibitions at the Soho20 Gallery in New York City and the Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY. Her expressive works testify to a profound understanding and a special sensitivity for the interplay of natural and fabricated structures.
My paintings reference a coalescence of patterns, textures and colors found in the
natural world as well as fabricated materials such as weaving and architecture.
